The first step in answering this problem is to break down 30 into its prime factors. These are 2, 3 and 5. Thus two numbers will have a lowest common multiple of 30 if the only unique prime factors are 2, 3 and 5. In order to have a highest common factor of 3, the two numbers need to have only one shared factor (3). Therefore one of the numbers needs to have the prime factors of 2 and 3, and the other needs to have the prime factors of 3 and 5. Thus, the two numbers with a LCM of 30 and a HCF of 3 are 6 and 15.
