Find the LCM and HCF of the integers by applying the prime factorization method:24, 15 and 36

Answer»

First, find the prime factors of the given integers: 24, 15 and 36 

For, 24 = 2 × 2 x 2 x 3 

15 = 3 × 5 

36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 

Now, LCM of 24, 15 and 36 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 

= 23 x 32 x 5 

∴ LCM (24, 15, 36) = 360 

And, HCF (24, 15 and 36) = 3
