Question
Find the LCM and HCF of the following integer by applying the prime factorisation method.
$8, 9$ and $25$

Answer

$8 = 2^3 \times 1$
$9 = 3^2 \times 1$
$25 = 5^2 \times 1$
LCM of $8, 9, 25$

$\begin{array}{c|c} 2 & 8-9-25 \\ \hline 2 & 4-9-25\\\hline2 & 2-9-25\\\hline 3 & 1-9-25\\\hline3 & 1-3-25\\\hline 5 & 1-1-25\\\hline5&1-1-5\\\hline & 1-1-1\end{array}$

So LCM of $8, 9, 25$ is$ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5$
$= 1800$
From the above HCF $(8, 9, 25) = 1$ and LCM $(8, 9, 25) = 1800.$
