Answer 1

the no. is 12, 24, 36
because when we do the hcf of the three nos we ger 12 as hcf

i have done it by using trial and error method
if u have any other methods then just comment....

please mark it as a brainlist answer........ 2

Answer 2

Since, the numbers are given in the form of ratio that means their common factors have been cancelled.

Each one's common factor is HCF.

And here HCF = 12,

hence, the numbers are 12, 24 and 36.

Alternatively, Let the numbers be x, 2x and 3x.

The HCF in x, 2x and 3x is x because 1, 2, 3 are prime.

Hence,

x = 12; then the other numbers are 24 and 36.
