3. The H.C.F. and the L.C.M. of two numbers are 50 and 300 respectively. If one of the numbers is 150, find the other one.
Solution:
Given
H.C.F. = 50
L.C.M. = 300
One number = 150
We know that,
Product of H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers is equal to product of those two numbers
For other number,
50 × 300 = 150 × other number
15000 / 150 = other number
100 = other number
Hence, the other number is 100
4. The product of two numbers is 432 and their L.C.M. is 72. Find their H.C.F.
Solution:
Given
Product of two numbers = 432 and L.C.M.= 72
We know that,
Product of H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers is equal to product of those two numbers.
Now, to find H.C.F
H.C.F. × 72 = 432
H.C.F.= 432 / 72
H.C.F. = 6
Hence, H.C.F. = 6
5. The product of two numbers is 19,200 and their H.C.F. is 40. Find their L.C.M.
Solution:
Given
Product of two numbers = 19200 and H.C.F. = 40
We know that,
Product of H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers is equal to product of those two numbers
Now, to find L.C.M.
40 × L.C.M. = 19200
L.C.M. = 19200 / 40
L.C.M. = 480
Hence, L.C.M. = 480
6. Find the smallest number which, when divided by 12, 15, 18, 24 and 36 leaves no remainder.
Solution:
The given numbers L.C.M. will be the least number which is exactly divisible 12, 15, 18, 24 and 36 and leaves no remainder
L.C.M. = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
= 360
Hence, smallest required number = 360
7. Find the smallest number which, when increased by one is exactly divisible by 12, 18, 24, 32 and 40.
Solution:
First, let us find out the L.C.M. of 12, 18, 24, 32 and 40
L.C.M. = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
= 1440
This can be written as
= 1439 + 1
Hence, 1439 is the smallest number which, when increased by one is exactly divisible by the given numbers
8. Find the smallest number which, on being decreased by 3, is completely divisible by 18, 36, 32 and 27.
Solution:
First, let us solve for L.C.M. of 18, 36, 32 and 27
L.C.M. = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
= 864
This can be written as
= 867 – 3
Hence, 867 is the smallest number which, when decreased by 3 is exactly divisible by the given numbers
