Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
The maximum number of student amoung them 1001 pens and 910 pencils can be distributed in such a way that each student gets the same number of pens and same number of pencils is :
Let the numbers be 3x, 4x and 5x.Then, their L.C.M. = 60x.So, 60x = 2400 or x = 40. The numbers are (3 x 40), (4 x 40) and (5 x 40).Hence, required H.C.F. = 40.
