QUESTION :-
Find the LCM and HCF Of the following integers by applying the prime factorisation method.
1) 12,15 and 21
2) 17,23 and 29
3) 8,9 and 25
ANSWER :-
1) 12,15 and 21
Product of prime factor
12=2×2×3 = 2² × 3
15=3×5
21=3×7
Here, 3 is common among 12,15 and 21
SO, HCF(12,15,21) = 3
In LCM we have to multiply all number with highest power but number should not be repeated.
LCM(12,15,21)= 2² × 3¹ × 5¹ × 7¹ = 420
2) 17,23 and 29
17=1×17
23=1×23
29=1×29
Here, 1 is common among 17,23 and 29.
So, HCF (17,23,29)=1
In LCM we have to multiply all number with highest power but number should not be repeated.
LCM(17,23,29)=17×23×29=11,339
3) 8,9 and 25
8= 2×2×2×1
9=3×3×1
25=5×5×1
Here, 1 is common among 8,9 and 25.
So, HCF (8,9,25)=1
In LCM we have to multiply all number with highest power but number should not be repeated.
LCM(8,9,25)=2×2×2×3×3×5×5=1100
