Question

find the LCM and HCF of the following integers by applying the prime factorization method 18,24 and 36​

Answer 1

Answer:

The LCM of 18,24,36

2/18,24,36

2/9,12,18

2/9,6,9

3/9,3,9

3/3,1,3

/1,1,1

2×2×2×3×3 = 72

The LCM of 18,24,36 is 72

Then,

The HCF of 18,24,36

2/18,24,36

3/9,12,18

/3,4,9

2×3 = 6

The HCF of 18,24,36 is 6

Then,

LCM = 72

HCF = 6
