Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
Five bells first begin to toll together and then at intervals of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 seconds respectively. After what interval of time will they toll again together?
Converting given measurements into centimeters 4m 96 cm = 400+96 = 496 cm 4m 3cm = 400+3 =403 cmTo find the side of the largest possible brick , the side of brick must divide length as well as breadth exactly. Using division method 403)496(1 403 93) 403 (4 370 31) 93 (3 93 0HCF = 31 Side of the largest possible square brick =31cm
L.C.M. of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 is 120. So, the bells will toll together after every 120 seconds(2 minutes). In 30 minutes, they will toll together 30 + 1 = 16 times. 2
