Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
The H.C.F and L.C.M of two numbers are 84 and 21 respectively. If the ratio of the two numbers is 1 : 4 , then the larger of the two numbers is
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
