HCF and LCM

 What is HCF?, HCF is when you find the highest common factor in 2 numbers
Step 1: Find the prime factors of the given numbers. In this case, the prime
factors of 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3, the prime factors of 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3.Step 2:
Multiply the prime factors that are common to both the numbers. Step 3:
Therefore, the HCF of 24 and 36 is 12.
 What is LCM?, LCM is when you find the lowest common multiple in 2 numbers
