Question
Find the LCM and HCF of the following integers by applying the prime factorisation method:
24, 15 and 36
Solution
24, 15 and 36
Let us first find the factors of 24, 15 and 36.
`24=2^3xx3`
`15=3xx5`
`36=2^2xx3^2`
L.C.M of 24,15 and 36=`2^2xx3^2xx5`
L.C.F of 24,15 and 36 =360
H.C.F of 24 ,15 and 36 =3
