Question
Using prime factorization, find the $HCF$ and $LCM$ of:
$396, 1080$

Answer

$396 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 11 $
$= 2^2 \times 3^2\times 11 1080 $
$= 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5 $
$= 2^3 \times 3^3 \times 5$
HCF $(396, 1080)$
$ = 2^2 \times 3^2$
$=36$LCM $(396, 1080) $
$= 2^3 \times 3^3 \times 11 \times 5$
$ =11880$
HCF $\times $ LCM
$= 427680 144 \times 198$
$ = 427680$
$\Rightarrow $ HCF $\times $ LCM = product of given numbers Hence verified.
