Answers:
(i)
17 = 17
23 = 23
29 = 29
HCF = 1
LCM = 17 × 23 × 29
LCM = 11339
(ii)
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 => 23 × 3
36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 => 22 × 32
40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 => 23 × 5
HCF = 22
HCF = 4
LCM = 23 × 32 × 5
LCM = 360
Using prime factorization, find the HCF and LCM of (i) 17,23,29 (ii) 24, 36, 40
Using prime factorization, find the HCF and LCM of (i) 17,23,29 (ii) 24, 36, 40
