Answer 2

Answer:

HCF of given numbers is 12 and LCM of the given numbers is 720.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Numbers are 48 , 72 and 60.

We have to find HCF and LCM of the given numbers.

HCF ( Highest Common Factor ) is the highest factor which is common in all given numbers. It is also know as greatest common Divisor that is GCD.

LCM ( Least Common Multiple ) is the Smallest Multiple which is common in all given number.

We use prime factorization method to find HCF and LCM,

48 = 2 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 2

72 =  3 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 2

60 = 2 × 3 × 2 × 5

HCF = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 720

Therefore, HCF of given numbers is 12 and LCM of the given numbers is 720.
