 LCM & HCF

SOLUTIONS
1. (d) 8. (b) 14. (d)
LCM of 15 and 18 = 90 Smallest number which is 108 = 72 × 1 + 36
Required Number = 90 + 3 = 93 divisible by 12, 16 and 24 72 = 36 × 2 + 0
2. (c) = LCM (12, 16 and 24) = 48 Hence, 5a = 5 × 36 = 180
When we divide 550 by 48 we get Now,
LCM of numbers
quotient = 11 remainder = 22
= HCF × [product of ratio] 108 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
Thus, The first number greater
= 3 × 4 × 5 = 60 than 550 which is divisible by 48 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
3. (a) = 550 + (48 – remainder) 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
Given that, LCM of a and b is = 42 = 550 + 26 = 576 LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
Hence LCM of 11a and 5b Hence, the number which are = 216
= 11 × 5 × (LCM of a and b) divisible by 48 and leave 15. (d)
remainder 5,

r
= 55 × 42 = 2310 554 – 43 = 511
1st number = 576 + 5 = 581
4. (a) 714 – 57 = 657
2nd number = 576 + 48 = 624 + 5

si
Let the two numbers be Ha and 213 – 67 = 146
= 629
Hb and their HCF is H. 3rd number = (576 + 48) + 48 = Now,

and HCF = 68
an by
Given, sum of Numbers = 1224 672 + 5 = 677
Sum = 581 + 629 + 677 = 1887
Prime Factorisation of
511 = 7 × 73

n
Therefore, Ha + Hb = 1224 9. (a) 657 = 3 × 3 × 73
 H(a + b) = 1224 LCM of 15, 24 and 40 = 120 146 = 2 × 73
Largest 4 digit number = 9999 Hence, HCF = 73
 ab 
1224 ja On dividing 9999 by 120, We get
R s
68 Therefore, The greatest positive
quotient = 83 and remainder = 39
integer that divides 554, 714 and
 a + b = 18 Hence, Required number

213 and leaves the remainder 43,

Now, Assume the such value of = 9999 – 39
= 9960 57, and 67 respectively is 73.

There are 3 pairs. HCF of the 24, 56 and 96 = 8 Factor of 75 = 3 × 5 × 5

5. (a) 11. (c) LCM = 5 × 5 × 3 × 2 = 150

× 2 × 13 Factor of 724 = 2 × 2 × 181
 336 = HCF × [1 × 3 × 7]
Therefore, HCF = 2 HCF = 4

HCF = 22 × 3 × 5 = 60
LCM of 48 and 64 = 192
7. (d)
HCF of 12 and 18 = 6
SMART APPROACH:-
We know, We can direct result by
ATQ,
Product of numbers = LCM × HCF divisibilty 5 and 9 together
LCM of 48 and 64 = m × HCF of only option (b) is correct.
 x × y = 441 × 7 12 and 18
19. (c)
 49 × y = 3087  192 = m × 6
15 = 3 ×5
3087 192 30 = 2 ×3×5
y  m
49 6 40 = 2 ×2×2×5
