Depends on what it is asking for.
It's kind of an inverse relationship. The product of the GCF and LCM of two numbers is the same as the product of the original two numbers, so as the GCF increases, the LCM decreases and vice versa. LCM is divisable by HCF.
Yes.First find the HCF of two of the numbers, then find the HCF of that answer and the third number.In this way you could find the HCF of as many numbers as you want.
Since 27 is not a factor of 279, there is a problem with this problem. But if one of the numbers is 297, the other is 189.
It is: 2
The GCF is 70.
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.
When simplifying fractions it's useful to know what is the HCF of the numerator and denominator is. When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators it's useful to know what the LCM of them is.
Two or more numbers are needed to find the HCF
You need at least two numbers to find an HCF.

You cannot. The numbers 2 and 12 have hcf = 2 and LCM = 12 The numbers 4 and 6 also have hcf = 2 and LCM = 12 So if you just knew the hcf and LCM you would not know which of the two was the required pair.
Two or more numbers are needed in order to find the HCF
It is: 44
Yes.First find the HCF of two of the numbers, then find the HCF of that answer and the third number.In this way you could find the HCF of as many numbers as you want.
To find the LCM, you multiply the numbers together and then divide by the HCF. In this case, we don't know the numbers, but we have the HCF (13) and we have the product of the numbers (1690). Thus all you do is divide 1690 by 13 to get: 1690/13 = 130 And thus the LCM of two numbers whose hcf is 13 and product is 1690 is 130.
Two or more numbers are normally needed to find the HCF of them.
