Answer:
LCM is the least common factor the number common in both and left numbers, Therefore, HCF and LCM of numbers 24 and 36 are 12 and 72 respectively.
Step-by-Step Explanation:
Find the prime factorization of 24
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
Find the prime factorization of 36
36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
Multiply each factor the greater number of times it occurs in steps i) or ii) above to find the LCM:
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
LCM = 72
