(A) Step $1$: Find the prime factorization of $96$ and $404$.$96 = 2^5 	imes 3^1$$404 = 2^2 	imes 101^1$Step $2$: Find the $HCF$ by taking the smallest power of each common prime factor.$HCF(96, 404) = 2^2 = 4$.Step $3$: Use the relationship $LCM(a, b) 	imes HCF(a, b) = a 	imes b$.$LCM(96, 404) = \frac{96 	imes 404}{HCF(96, 404)}$$LCM(96, 404) = \frac{96 	imes 404}{4} = 96 	imes 101 = 9696$.

Find the $HCF$ of $96$ and $404$ by the prime factorization method,and hence find their $LCM$.
