Question
Find the LCM and HCF of the following integer by applying the prime factorisation method.
$84, 90$ and $120$

Answer

$84, 90$ and $120$
Prime factor of $84, 90$ and $120$ are,
$84 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 7 = 2^2 \times 3 \times 7$
$90 = 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5 = 2 \times 3^2 \times 5$
$120 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5 = 2^3 \times 3 \times 5$
For H.C.F:
Common prime factor
Least component
$2$
$1$
$3$
$1$
H.C.F $(84, 90, 120) = 2 \times 3 = 6$
For L.C.M:
Prime factor of $84, 90, 120$
Greatest component
$2$
$3$
$3$
$2$
$5$
$1$
$7$
$1$
L.C.M $(84, 90, 120) = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5 \times 7$
$= 72 \times 35$
$= 2520$
Thus, H.C.F = 6 and L.C.M $= 2520$
