Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 23 × 31 × 51

Given:

Numbers are 720 & 600.

Concept used:

First, break the numbers into prime factors.

Pick the least common power of each prime number from both the numbers.

Explanation:

720 = 24 × 32 × 51

600 = 23 × 31 × 52

Least power of '2' is 3.

Least power of '3' is 1.

Least power of '5' is 1.

⇒ HCF = 23 × 31 × 51

∴ The largest common factor of 720 & 600 is 23 × 31 × 51

 You have to find the largest common factor and LCM stands for Lowest common multiple. HCF stands for Highest/largest common factor.
