We have,
Question Image

To find the HCF, we list the common prime factor and their smallest exponents in 90 and 144 as under:
Common prime factor = 2, 3
Least exponents that is the least amount of power we have = 1, 2
HCF =

= 9 x 2 = 18
To find LCM we have to make a list of all prime factors of 90 and 144, their greatest exponents as follows:
Prime factor of 90 and 144 = 2, 3, 5
Greatest exponents = 4, 2, 1
LCM =

LCM = 720
So, the Ans is HCF = 18 and LCM = 720.
Hence, option 4 is correct.
