Question

Find the prime factors of 32 , 24 , 48 and find their LCM and HCF​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

32 = 2 × 16

= 2 × 2 × 8

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 4

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

24 = 2 × 12

= 2 × 2 × 6

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

48 = 2 × 24

= 2 × 2 × 12

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 6

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

∴ HCF of 32, 24 and 48 = 2 × 2 × 2

= 8

LCM of 32,24 and 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

= 96

Answer 2

96 is the correct answer
