Answer:
Using prime factorisation method:
(i) 12, 15 and 21
Factor of 12=2×2×3
Factor of 15=3×5
Factor of 21=3×7
HCF (12,15,21)=3
LCM (12,15,21)=2×2×3×5×7=420
(ii) 17, 23 and 29
Factor of 17=1×17
Factor of 23=1×23
Factor of 29=1×29
HCF (17,23,29)=1
LCM (17,23,29)=1×17×23×29=11,339
(iii) 8, 9 and 25
Factor of 8=2×2×2×1
Factor of 9=3×3×1
Factor of 25=5×5×1
HCF (8,9,25)=1
LCM (8,9,25)=2×2×2×3×3×5×5=1,800
