Solution

The given integers 18, 81 and 108 can be factorised as follows:

18=2×3×381=3×3×3×3108=2×2×3×3×3

2 and 3 are prime numbers as these are the numbers that are only divisible by themselves.

We know that HCF is the highest common factor, therefore, the HCF of 18, 81 and 108 is:

HCF=3×3=9

Also, the LCM is the least common multiple, therefore, the LCM of 18, 81 and 108 is:

LCM=2×2×3×3×3×3=324

Hence, the HCF is 9 and LCM is 324.
