    Find the HCF and LCM of 36, 45 and

    60.
    A HCF = 8, LCM = 280 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B HCF = 3, LCM = 180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C HCF = 2, LCM = 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D HCF = 5, LCM = 188 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Prime factors: 36 = 2² × 3² 45 = 3² × 5 60 = 2² × 3 × 5 HCF = product of common primes with smallest powers = 3¹ = 3 LCM = product of all primes with highest powers = 2² × 3² × 5 = 4 × 9 × 5 = 180 Answer: HCF = 3, LCM = 180
