Understanding GCF, LCM, and LCD

This video tutorial teaches students how to find the greatest common factor (GCF), least common multiple (LCM), and least common denominator (LCD). It begins with an introduction to factors, providing examples to illustrate the concept. The tutorial then explains how to determine the GCF by listing factors and identifying the largest common one. Next, it covers the LCM, showing how to list multiples and find the smallest common multiple. Finally, the video demonstrates how to calculate the LCD for fractions by finding the least common multiple of the denominators. The lesson concludes with a recap of the key points covered.
