To find the highest common factor (HCF) of 108 and 270, we can break them down into their prime factors: \( 108 = 2^2 \times 3^3 \) \( 270 = 2 \times 3^3 \times 5 \) By identifying the common prime factors, we see that the HCF is \( 2^1 \times 3^3 = 2 \times 27 = 54 \). Now, for 21 and 84, the breakdown is: \( 21 = 3 \times 7 \) \( 84 = 2^2 \times 3 \times 7 \) The HCF here is \( 3 \times 7 = 21 \). It's similar for 195 and 330: \( 195 = 3 \times 5 \times 13 \) \( 330 = 2 \times 3 \times 5 \times 11 \) Thus, the HCF is \( 3 \times 5 = 15 \). For the factors of 30, 210, and 700, it starts getting interesting. The shared commonality leads to the HCF being \( 1 \) since they share no prime factors uniformly. Now, let’s look at the least common multiple (LCM) of the pairs: For \( 24 \) and \( 90 \), we have \( \text{LCM} = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5 = 360 \). And for \( 48 \), working with the same prime factorization methodology, the \( \text{LCM} \) of \( 48 \) thus leads us to, let’s say, \( 720 \). For Mr. Abrahams' class, he needs the least common multiple of the group sizes \(2\), \(5\), and \(6\). When calculating, we find that the smallest number of learners that can satisfy all these conditions is \(30\). Fancy a bell? If it rings every \(30\) minutes starting from \(8:00\) a.m., guess what? Those bells would ring at \(8:00\), \(8:30\), \(9:00\), and so on, creating quite a musical morning for the juniors!
