Prime factorization of 60 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

Prime factorization of 120 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

Prime factorization of 288 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LCM(60,120,288) = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5

= 1440

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HCF(60,120,288) = 2 * 2 * 3

= 12.

Hope this helps!


siddhartharao77: :-)
ShadowlesS: y for hcf u took one 3 , shouldnt we take that two 3s?
siddhartharao77: always, we have to see the prime factors. 3 is common in 60,120,288. 2 3's are common only in 288 but not in 60,120. So, we should take only one 3
ShadowlesS: ohh ok thx bro
