Is 72 a hcf of six and LCM of 252?
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.
Why is 72 divisible by 6?
Because 6 is a factor of 72 and also because 72 is a multiple of 6.
Is 6 a prime factor of 72?
6 is not a prime number but it is a factor of 72
Why is 6 a factor of 72?
Because 6 times 12 is 72. A number, when multiplied by another number, is a factor of the new number.
What number is a factor of 30 and a multiple of 2?
6 is a factor of 30 and a multiple of 2.

Is 72 a factor of 6 true or false?
False. 72 is a multiple of 6.
Why is 72 divisible by 6?
Because 6 is a factor of 72 and also because 72 is a multiple of 6.
Is 6 a prime factor of 72?
6 is not a prime number but it is a factor of 72
Which is a multiple of 6 and a factor of 72?
6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
Why is 6 a factor of 72?
Because 6 times 12 is 72. A number, when multiplied by another number, is a factor of the new number.
What numbers are both a multiple of 6 and a factor of 72?
6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
What number is both a factor and a multiple of 6?
6 is both a factor and a multiple of 6.
What number's greatest common factor is 6 and lowest common factor is 72?
All sets of numbers have an LCF of 1, so I'll assume you meant to write least common multiple. 6 and 72 have a GCF of 6 and an LCM of 72. So do 18 and 24.
What number is a factor of 60 and a multiple of 6?
10 is a multiple of 6 and a factor of 60 :)
Which number is a factor of 18 but not a multiple of 6?
The number 8 is the factor of 18. But 8 is not a multiple of 6.
Which number is a common multiple of 24 and 30..Is it a. 6 b. 72 c. 90 d. 120?
120. 6 is a factor of both. 72 a multiple of 24. 90 is a multiple of 30. 5(24)=120. 4(30)=120. TL;DR: d
