Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
If the sum of two numbers is 55 and the H.C.F and L.C.M of these numbers are 5 and 120 respectively, then the sum of the reciprocal of the numbers is equal to:
Perfect Square : A number when written as product of prime factors , if each prime factor has even number as its power , then the number is perfect square. Writing the given number as product of prime factors 6 = 2 x 3 12 = 2³ x 3 18 = 2 x 3² 24= 2³ x 3 LCM = 2³ x 3² = 72 But 72 is not the perfect square. But multiples of 72 are also exactly divisible by given numbers. 72 x 2 =144 is the perfect square.
