Multiply each factor the greater number of times it occurs in steps i) or ii) above to find the LCM:

LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 5

LCM = 600

Find the prime factorization of 75

75 = 3 × 5 × 5

Find the prime factorization of 120

120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

To find the HCF, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:

Therefore, HCF = 3 × 5
