Yes he is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 36 & 24 has a hcf (highest common factor) of 12
And because 6 & 4 has lcm (least common multiple) of 12
To find out the lcm just go through their time table and find a common least multiple and to find out hcf just go through their time table and find a common highest factor.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

LCM :

6 x 1 = 6

6 x 2 = 12

6 x 3 = 18

6 x 4 = 24

Meanwhile

4 x 1 = 4

4 x 2 = 8

4 x 3 = 12

4 x 4 = 16

4 x 5 = 20

4 x 6 = 24

The LCM of 6 and 4 is 12

HCF:

36 : 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,36

24 : 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

HCF of 36 and 24 is 12

So therefore Hussein is correct because both the LCM and HCF is 12
