and
108
.

Solution
The given integers
18
,
81
and
108
can be f
actorised as follows:
18
=
2
×

81
=

2
and
3
are prime numbers as these are the numbers that are only divisible by themselves.
We know that
H
C
F
is the highest common factor, therefore, the
H
C
F
of
18
,
81
and
108
is:
H
C
F
=
3

=
9
Also, the
L
C
M
is the least common multiple, therefore, the
L
C
M
of
18
,
81
and
108
is:
L
C
M
=

Hence, the
H

is
9
and
L
C
M
is
324
.
