CBSEENMA10006100

Find the LCM and HCF of the following integers by applying the prime factorisation method. (iii) 8, 9 and 25

Solution

(iii) 8, 9 and 25

Now,    8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 23,

9 = 3 × 3 = 32

and    25 = 5 × 5 = 52

Since, there is no smallest common factor.

∴ H.C.F. (8, 9, 25) = 1.

And 23, 32, and 52 are greatest powers of prime factors.

∴ L.C.M. (8, 9, 25) = 23 × 32 × 52 = 1800.
