Use of Venn Diagrams to find the HCF and LCM
Number
Find the HCF and LCM of 24 and 60
• Use a factor tree to help you find the Prime Factors
• Then a Venn Diagram to help you find the HCF and LCM
• Can you remember how to draw a Factor Tree?

Prime Factors
• 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
• 60 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
We now need to find the HCF
- Highest Common Factor
and the LCM - Lowest Common Multiple

Venn Diagram24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
60 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

HCF = 2 x 2 x 3 = 12LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 120
HCF is the region of
intersection2 x 2 x 3 = 12
LCM is all the numbers in the circles
multiplied together 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5=120
The LCM of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of each of
the numbers.
24 x 5 =120 60 x 2 =120
or you could write out the multiples of 24 and 60
24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144,….
60, 120, 180, 240, 300,....
The HCF of two or more numbers is the largest number that divides exactly into
each of them.
24 ÷ 12 = 2 60 ÷ 12 = 5
Can you do some questions now on your own?
Find the HCF and LCM of the following:
1. 6 and 15
2. 20 and 30
3. 14 and 42
4. 24, 30 and 54Answers:
1.HCF = 3, LCM = 30
2.HCF = 10, LCM = 60
3.HCF = 14, LCM = 42
4.HCF = 6, LCM = 1080
