Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
A, B and C start running around a circular stadium and complete one round in 27 s, 9 s and 36 s, respectively. In how much time will they meet again at the starting point?
The greatest number that will divide 172,205 and 304 leaving the same remainder in each case is HCF ((205-172), (304-205), (304-172)) = HCF of 33, 99, and 132 33=31x11 99=3 x 3 x 11 132=3 x 2 x 2 x11 Required number =3 x 11=33
