Prime Factorization, HCF & LCM Guide

This document discusses primes, highest common factors (HCF), and lowest common multiples (LCM). It provides examples of writing numbers as products of primes, finding the HCF and LCM of 60 and 75 (which are 15 and 300), and determining that the HCF and LCM of 23 and 17 are 1 and 391 respectively. Examples are shown to illustrate prime factorization and calculating the HCF and LCM.

Primes
HCF & LCM
EXAMPLES
Write these numbers as a product of primes:
a) 180
b) 48 c) 72
Write down the number that is being represented.
a) 2 x 32
Ans: 2 x 3 x 3 = 18
b) 24 x 5 x 32
Ans: 16 x 5 x 9 = 720

Find the HCF & LCM of 60 and 75.


Solution: 60 = 22 x 3 x 5
75 = 3 x 52
HCF = 3 x 5 = 15
LCM = 22 x 3 x 52 = 4 x 3 x 25 = 300
23 and 17 are prime numbers.
a) What is the HCF?
Ans: 1
b) What is the LCM?
Ans: 23 x 17 = 391
