Step 1For questions dealing with numbers, factors, LCM or HCF, &#039;, composite, squares, cubes etc, write the numbers as the product of their &#039; factors ... this tells you everything about the numbers.      70    =    2    ×    5    ×    7                                                                              10    ×    7        84    =    2    ×    2    ×    3    ×    7                                                                       12    ×    7        105    =    3    ×    5    ×    7                                                                              5    ×    21  In this form we can see that they all have the factor 7.There is no other common factor so 7 is the HCF.
