Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
The H.C.F and L.C.M of two numbers are 11 and 385 respectively. If one number lies between 75 and 125 , then that number is
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
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.
