No. It can be neither.
HCF is Highest Common Factor; a factor of a number is a number which divides into it with no remainder. Thus all factors are less than or equal to the number. 72 is greater than 6, therefore it cannot be a factor of 6, nor the Highest Common Factor of 6 and another number.
LCM is Lowest Common Multiple; a multiple of a number is that number times some other number. Thus all multiples are greater than or equal to the number. 72 is less than 252, therefore it cannot be a multiple of 252, nor can it be the Lowest Common Multiple of 252 and another number.
However, 6 is a factor of 72, thus 6 could be the HCF of 72 and another number, eg hcf(30, 72) = 6.
But 252 is not a multiple of 72, so 252 could not be a LCM of 72 and some other number.

What is the HCF and LCM of 70 and 72?
The HCF is: 2The LCM is: 2,520
What is the LCM of 64and 72?
To calculate the LCM, you first have to split the numbers up into their prime factors: 64 = 2x2x2x2x2x2 72 = 2x2x2x3x3 The next step is to calculate the HCF. In this case it will be 2x2x2 = 8. Finally, you multiply the two numbers and divide by the HCF: 64x72/8 = 576 And therefore the LCM of 64 and 72 is 576.
What 2 numbers have a HCF of 6 and an LCM of 72 and how?
In these types of problems, the numbers can also be the answer. 6 and 72 have a GCF of 6 and an LCM of 72. Since the product of the GCF and LCM of two numbers is the same as the product of the numbers, you could also use another factor pair of 432, like 18 and 24.
What are the least common multiple and the greatest common factor of 8 and 36?
The GCF/HCF of 8 and 36 is 4.The LCM of 8 and 36 is 72.
What is the LCF for 64 and 72?
This question mixes up two different concepts - that of the highest common factor (HCF) and lowest common multiple (LCM).
What is the lcm and HCF of 72 and 252?
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 72 252 is 504.The Highest Common Factor (HCF) for 72 252 is 36.
What is the LCM of 72 180 252?
LCM of 72 180 252 is 2520.
What is the HCF and LCM of 70 and 72?
The HCF is: 2The LCM is: 2,520
What is the hcf of 72 and 48?
The HCF of 48 and 72 is 24. The LCM is 144.
What is the least common multiple of 42 and 72?
LCM = product/HCF; HCF is 6 so LCM = 12 x 42 = 504
What is the least common multiple for 18 21 and 36?
The LCM is: 180.
The gcd of 72 and 252 is 36 find their LCM?
If you have two numbers m and n and their gcd (or gcf), g then their LCM = m*n/g so LCM = 72*252/36 = 2*252 = 504.
What is the product of the HCF of 12 and 18 and the LCM of 108 and 72?
HCF of 12 and 18 is 6 and LCM of 108 and 72 is 216 So: 6 times 216 = 1296
What is the LCM of 7 4 and 36?
252
What is the LCM of 64and 72?
To calculate the LCM, you first have to split the numbers up into their prime factors: 64 = 2x2x2x2x2x2 72 = 2x2x2x3x3 The next step is to calculate the HCF. In this case it will be 2x2x2 = 8. Finally, you multiply the two numbers and divide by the HCF: 64x72/8 = 576 And therefore the LCM of 64 and 72 is 576.
What is the greatest common factor and least common multiple of 60 72?
HCF is 12 and LCM is 360
What 2 numbers have a HCF of 6 and an LCM of 72 and how?
In these types of problems, the numbers can also be the answer. 6 and 72 have a GCF of 6 and an LCM of 72. Since the product of the GCF and LCM of two numbers is the same as the product of the numbers, you could also use another factor pair of 432, like 18 and 24.
