Question

find the hcf and lcm of 234,572​

Answer 1

We have to find the LCM and HCF of 234 and 572.

The HCF i.e highest common factor is found by multiplying all the factors which appear in both numbers.

The LCM i.e lowest common multiple is found by multiplying all the factors which appear in either two.

234 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 13

572 = 2 x 2 x 11 x 13

HCF = 2 x 13 = 26

LCF = 2 x 3 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 13 = 5148

The HCF and LCM are 26 and 5148.
