Example 2

HCF · LCM · prime factorisation

Find the LCM and HCF of 6 and 20 by the prime factorisation method.

Solution

6=2×3,20=22×56=2\times3,\qquad20=2^2\times5
HCF⁡(6,20)=2\operatorname{HCF}(6,20)=2
LCM⁡(6,20)=22×3×5=60\operatorname{LCM}(6,20)=2^2\times3\times5=60

Final answer

HCF = 2 and LCM = 60.
