LCM and HCF

Factor :   Factor for a given number are all the numbers which divides given number completely i.e. if you divide given number by factor then there will be no remainder.

Question Write all the factors of 100 ?
Prime Number : are the numbers which divided completely by only itself or one.

               example 2 , 3 , 5 so on

Question :  Write all the prime number till 100 ?

 =========================================================
HCF : Highest common factor of two or more number is the largest number that divide all the number completely

   Factor of 10 are 1 ,  2  and 5
   Factor of 15 are 1 , 3   and 5
 so common factor of 10 and 15 are 1 and 5 in  which 5 is largest so HCF = 5
Note : HCF will be always less than the smallest number or equal to the smallest number.
           HCF for prime numbers is 1. i.e there is no common factor other than 1.
==========================================================

 LCM : Least common multiple is the smallest non zero number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.
Question Find LCM of 80 and 30Question Find LCM of 80 and 30

 Factor of 30 :  2 , 3 , 5
Factor of    80 : 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 5

 LCM      2 x 5    x   2 x 2 x 2 x 3     =  240

 Important points LCM and HCF which are helpful tricks must remember

 1) Product of Two Numbers = Product of LCM and HCF

 2) LCM of given number is always a multiple of HCF .
                                                           HCF of numerator 
3) HCF of fraction numbers =  ---------------------------------------
                                                           LCM of denominator 

                                                                 LCM of numerator 
4) LCM of fraction numbers = -----------------------------------------
                                                                   HCF of denominator

LCM and HCF problem

Question : There are three numbers such that the product of the first two numbers is 91                  and that of the last two numbers is 221. Find all three numbes and their sum Answer : Suppose numbers are A , B AND C. Also given   A x B  = 91 and B x C = 221 Since the numbers are prime number, they contain only 1 as the common factor. Also, above two products have B in common. So, B = H.C.F. of ( 91 and 221 ) = 13; A  = 91/13 = 7;  C  = 221/13 = 17. Required sum = (7 + 13 + 21 ) = 41. ================================================================= Question : The ratio of two numbers is 3 : 4. The L.C.M. of two numbers is 48.                   Find sum of the number Solution : Let the numbers be 3x and 4x. Then, their L.C.M. = 12x. So, 12x = 48 or x = 4 The numbers are 12 and 16. Hence, required sum = (12 + 16) = 28. ================================================================ Important points regarding LCM and HCF m
