info</div><div>Finding LCM or HCF using prime numbers&nbsp;</div><div>Dividable
numbers can be separated into prime numbers, eg. 45 = 5x3x3 or
5x3^2&nbsp;</div><div>So LCM = the larger end of the numbers eg. 5x3^2 and 5^2x3,
you would pick 5^2x3^2&nbsp;</div><div>And for HCF you pick the lower end so 5x3.
Because 5^2 is larger than 5 and if you had to choose between 7 and there isn’t a 7
on the other side, then put a 0.</div><div><br></div><div>N= negative p=

n )</div><div><br></div><div>EXPONENTS</div><div>A negative number cannot an even
root, for example, the square root of -4 negative or any even root. But odd numbers
can for example, -3&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
