Answer:
20 and 4200
Step-by-step explanation:
Express the numbers as products of their prime factors.
120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
140 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 7
Identify the prime factors that both numbers have in common and multiply them.
both have 2, 2 and 5, thus
HCF = 2 × 2 × 5 = 20
-----------------------------------------
Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number.
2 : 3 times
3 : 1 time
5 : 2 times
7 : 1 time
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 5 × 7 = 4200
