This video tutorial explains how to find the highest common factor (HCF) and the lowest common multiple (LCM) using prime factors. It begins with an introduction to these concepts and suggests watching prerequisite videos if needed. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find the LCM by taking the largest power of each prime factor from the numbers involved. It follows with a method to find the HCF by identifying common prime factors. The video concludes with a summary of the techniques and encourages viewers to practice these skills for efficiency.
