Hence, HCF must completely divide the LCM.

A. Since it completely divides (with integer quotient), it may be HCF.

B. Since it completely divides (with integer quotient), it may be HCF.

C. Since the answer is not an integer quotient, it can’t be the HCF.

D. Since it completely divides (with integer quotient), it may be HCF.
