Answer 2

Answer:

HCF stands for highest common factor

LCM stands for lowest common multiple

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the HCF you should multiply all of the common prime factors for each number. e.g 24 and 36

To find the HCF you do 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

To find the LCM you multiply all of the prime factors together so the LCM of 24 and 36 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72
