When is it useful to find the LCM or the GCF of two or more numbers to solve a problem?

LCM: when simplifying fractions GCF: when you need to find the zeros (x intercepts) of equations like x 2 + 10 x + 25

Some * **possible answers ** *are:
The LCM is useful when adding or subtracting fractions. It is also useful when finding the number of times two given numbers will overlap; for example, if you plant red flowers every 2 feet and yellow flowers every 3 feet, at what distances would you plant both color of flowers?
The GCF is useful when simplifying fractions.

Finding the LCM is useful for adding or subtracting fractions and determining when events overlap, while the GCF helps simplify fractions and divide items into equal groups. These concepts are essential in solving various real-life problems effectively.
