Q3(iii):
Find the LCM and HCF of the following integers by applying the prime factorisation method. (iii) 8, 9 and 25
Solution :
Given: The set of integers $\{8, 9, 25\}$.
To Find: The Highest Common Factor (HCF) and the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the given integers using the prime factorisation method.
Step 1: Prime Factorisation of the given integers
We express each number as a product of its prime factors:
For $8$:
$8 = 2 \times 4$
$8 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 2^3$
For $9$:
$9 = 3 \times 3 = 3^2$
For $25$:
$25 = 5 \times 5 = 5^2$
Step 2: Determining the HCF
The Highest Common Factor (HCF) is defined as the product of the smallest power of each common prime factor involved in the numbers.
Prime factors of $8$: $2^3$
Prime factors of $9$: $3^2$
Prime factors of $25$: $5^2$
Since there are no common prime factors among $8, 9,$ and $25$ other than $1$, we can write:
$HCF(8, 9, 25) = 1$
Step 3: Determining the LCM
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) is defined as the product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers.
The prime factors present are $2, 3,$ and $5$. The greatest powers are:
Greatest power of $2 = 2^3 = 8$
Greatest power of $3 = 3^2 = 9$
Greatest power of $5 = 5^2 = 25$
Therefore, $LCM(8, 9, 25) = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5^2$
$LCM = 8 \times 9 \times 25$
Calculating the product sequentially:
$8 \times 9 = 72$
$72 \times 25 = 72 \times \frac{100}{4} = 18 \times 100 = 1800$
Step 4: Verification of Results
The prime factorisation method yields:
HCF = $1$
LCM = $1800$
Final Answer: The HCF of 8, 9, and 25 is 1, and the LCM is 1800.

I teach Math and Science to 8th-12th standard students and have been teaching for more than 10 years. Batch of 2 Students: I conduct these small batches with a pair of students of the same class and same education board (I cover all popular boards CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE etc.). This works for those students/parents who are looking for individual attention for their kids but still want it to be a little affordable. *3 classes per week (So 12 a month) *Maths and Science (Also English Grammar and Literature) *Fee Rs. 4500/- per month/12 classes. Batch of 6 Students: I conduct these small batches with 5-6 students of the same class and same education board (I cover all popular boards CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE etc.). *4 classes per week (So 16 a month) *Maths and Science *Fee Rs. 4000/- per month/16 classes. I will start the classes immediately once the first kid enrolls. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Individual/Private/One-to-One classes: I conduct these one to one classes for those students willing to have a one-to-one setup (I cover all popular boards CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE etc.). *3 classes per week (So 12 a month) *Maths and Science (Also English Grammar and Literature) *Fee Rs. 7000/- per month/12 classes.

I have experience teaching Mathematics to Grade 10 students with a focus on strengthening fundamental concepts and preparing them for board examinations. I teach important topics such as Real Numbers, Polynomials, Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables, Quadratic Equations, Arithmetic Progressions, Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry, Statistics, and Probability. My teaching approach involves explaining concepts clearly, solving problems step by step, and giving regular practice from NCERT and previous years’ board exam papers. I also conduct tests, revision classes, and doubt-clearing sessions to track students’ progress. My goal is to make mathematics simple and interesting while helping students build confidence and achieve good results in their Grade 10 board exams.
Very good teacher. Patient with the students and understands where they are confused quickly. Motivates the students to be better too.
