Question

find the LCM and HCF of 234,572

Answer 1

To get the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 234 and 572 we need to factor each value first and then we choose all the factors which appear in any column and multiply them: 

234:   2 33 13572:   22  1113LCM:   22331113

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) is:   2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 13 = 5148

Greatest (highest) common factor (divisor)
gcf, gcd (234; 572) = 2 × 13 = 26

Answer 2

234. 2
117. 3
39. 3
13. 13



572. 2
286. 2
143. 11
