(i) 8 = 2 ⨯ 2 ⨯ 2 = 23
9 = 3 ⨯ 3 = 32
25 = 5 ⨯ 5 = 52
HCF = Product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers = 1
LCM = Product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers = 23 ⨯ 32 ⨯ 52 = 1800
(ii) 12 = 2 ⨯ 2 ⨯ 3 = 22 ⨯ 3
15 = 3 ⨯ 5
21 = 3 ⨯7
HCF = Product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers = 3
LCM = Product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers = 22 ⨯ 3 ⨯ 5⨯ 7 = 420
(iii) 17 = 17
23 = 23
29 = 29
HCF = Product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers = 1
LCM = Product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers = 17 ⨯ 23 ⨯ 29 = 11339
