Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
Six bells commence tolling together and toll at intervals of 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 seconds respectively. in 30 m9nutes,how many times do they toll together ?
Required length = H.C.F. of 495 cm, 900 cm and 1665 cm. 495 = 3² x 5 x 11, 900 = 2² x 3² x 5², 1665 = 3² x 5 x 37. H.C.F. = 32 x 5 = 45. Hence, required length = 45 cm.
