576 ÷ 12 = 48 (no remainder) - 576 is a multiple of 12.
396 ÷ 12 = 33 (no remainder) - 396 is a multiple of 12.
354 ÷ 12 = 29.5 (remainder) - 354 is not a multiple of 12.
792 ÷ 12 = 66 (no remainder) - 792 is a multiple of 12.
1164 ÷ 12 = 97 (no remainder) - 1164 is a multiple of 12.

No, it's not possible to find the "highest common multiple" of two or more numbers. The
concept doesn't exist because multiples of any number are infinite. However, the lowest
common multiple (LCM) can be determined for a set of numbers.

The smallest factor of any number is 1. Every number is divisible by 1.
The largest factor of any number is the number itself. For example, the largest factor of 10 is
10, and the largest factor of 50 is 50. Every number is divisible by itself.
Exercise 1.6

a. 3 and 6: HCF = 3
b. 24 and 16: HCF = 8
c. 15 and 40: HCF = 5
d. 42 and 70: HCF = 14
e. 32 and 36: HCF = 4
f. 26 and 36: HCF = 2
g. 22 and 44: HCF = 22
h. 42 and 48: HCF = 6
a. For an HCF of 2: Two numbers less than 20 with an HCF of 2 are 4 and 6.
HCF(4, 6) = 2
b. For an HCF of 6: Two numbers less than 20 with an HCF of 6 are 6 and 12.
HCF(6, 12) = 6
The highest common factor of two different prime numbers is 1.
Prime numbers have no common factors other than 1 because they can only be divided
evenly by 1 and themselves.
