To determine if a word problem is asking for the Highest Common Factor (HCF) or Lowest Common Multiple (LCM), you need to carefully analyze the relationships between the numbers involved. If the problem involves finding the largest number that divides evenly into two or more numbers, it is likely a HCF problem. On the other hand, if the problem involves finding the smallest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers, it is likely a LCM problem. Understanding the specific mathematical operations required in the word problem will help you identify whether it is testing for HCF or LCM.
