    Question

    Find the HCF and LCM of 24, 36 and 60.

    A HCF = 12 and LCM = 360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B HCF = 18 and LCM = 260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C HCF = 20 and LCM = 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D HCF = 22 and LCM = 460 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Prime factors: 24 = 2³ × 3 36 = 2² × 3² 60 = 2² × 3 × 5 HCF = product of common primes with smallest powers = 2² × 3 = 4 × 3 = 12 LCM = product of all primes with highest powers = 2³ × 3² × 5 = 8 × 9 × 5 = 72 × 5 = 360 Answer: HCF = 12, LCM = 360.
