LCM and HCF
LCM and HCF
Least Common Multiple and Highest Common Factor.
Product of common and non common factors is LCM.
Find LCM of 12,15,50?
Factors of 12 = 2 * 2 * 3 Factors of 15 = 3 * 5
Factors of 50 = 2 * 5 * 5
Common Factors = 2 * 3 * 5 = 30 Non Common = 2 * 5 = 10
LCM = 30 * 10 = 300
1. Find the lowest number which is exactly divisible by 18 and 24.
2. Find the lowest number which is less by 5 or more by 6 to be divisible by 16,24 and 36
exactly.
3. A shopkeeper sells candles in packets of 12 and candle stands in packets of 8. what is
the least no of candles that could be purchased so that there would be one candle for
one stand.
4. Find the number which leaves 3 as remainder when divided by 8, 12 and 16.
5. Find the least length of rope which can be cut into whole number of pieces of length
45cm, 75cm and 81cm?
LCM and HCF
Least Common Multiple and Highest Common Factor.
Product of common factors only is HCF.
Find HCF of 12, 18 and 24?
Factors of 12 = 2 * 2 * 3 Factors of 24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3
Factors of 18 = 2 * 3 * 3
Common Factors = 2 * 3 = 6 HCF = 6
1. Two wires are 12m and 16m long. The wires are to be cut into pieces
of equal length. Find the maximum length of each piece ?
2. Ayesha has 24 red candles and Maya has 18 green candles. they want
to arrange the candles in such a way that each row contains equal no
of candles and also each row should have red candles or green
candles. What is the greatest no of candles that can be arranged in a
row?
