Using prime factorization, find the HCF and LCM of8, 9, 25

Answer»

8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 23 

9 = 3 × 3 = 32 

25 = 5 × 5 = 52 

HCF = product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers = 1 

LCM = product of greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers = 23 × 32 × 52 = 1800
