Question

Find the LCM and HCF of the following integers by applying the prime factorization method: $17,23and29$.

Answer 1

Finding HCF and LCM of 17, 23, and 29:

Factorization of 17, 23, and 29:

$17=1\times 17$,

$23=1\times 23$,

$29=1\times 29$.

HCF = 1

LCM = $17\times 23\times 29=11339$.

Hence, HCF = $1$ and LCM = $11339$.
