Explanation

If the ratio is 1:2:3 and HCF is 23, the numbers are 23*1, 23*2, 23*3, which are 23, 46, 69.

AI explanation

Since the ratio is 1:2:3, we can write the numbers as x, 2x, and 3x, where x represents their highest common factor. We are given that the HCF is 23, so we substitute 23 for x. Multiplying this out gives the numbers as 23, 46, and 69. The result is 23, 46, 69.
