All that work put into prime factorizations won't go to waste. An illuminating video describes how to determine the least common multiple and greatest common factor of two numbers using the prime factorizations. Learners see how to use a Venn diagram to classify each factor as being common to the two numbers or not, and then use the factors to find the least common multiple and greatest common factor.
