Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously multiple has to be greater than or equal to the greater number in the set. So LCM is greater than HCF. Highest common factor (HCF), also known as GCD (Greatest common divisor) of a group of numbers is the greatest number that can exactly divide all the numbers in the group

Answer 2

Umm. Hcf is the smallest number by which both the numbers given are divisible whereas lcm is the number which is the smallest multiple of the given no.s

Everytime the hcf is a factor of lcm
