Question

Each number is not necessarily a factor of their LCM

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Highest Common Factopr (HCF) of two or more numbers is the highest number which divides each of the numbers equally.

The Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that is a common multiple.

The statement, HCF of two numbers is always a factor of their LCM is true.

The reason is that the HCF is a factor of both the numbers which are factors of their LCM.

Thus, the HCF is also a factor of the LCM of the two numbers.
