We know that,
Let the two numbers be a and b.
LCM = 72
Product (a,b) = 864.
∴ 72 × HCF = 864
HCF = 864/72
HCF = 12.
Answer : HCF = 12

★Some Full forms :-
☆HCF = Highest common Factor
☆LCM = Least common Factor
★Solution :-
★As per the definition we have :-
HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers
HCF × LCM = 864
★Here we have to substitute the value of LCM :-
In case :-
★Three positive integers a,b,c
★HCF(a,b,c) × LCM(a,b,c) ≠ a × b × c
