Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
The maximum number of students among 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:
L.C.M. of 6, 9, 15 and 18 is 90.Let required number be 90k + 4, which is multiple of 7.Least value of k for which (90k + 4) is divisible by 7 is k = 4.Required number = (90 x 4) + 4 = 364.
The least number which when divided by 4,5,6,8 and 10 is the LCM of these numbers. But each time to get 3 as remainder, we have to add the remainder 3 to the obtained LCM.LCM of (4, 5, 6, 8, 10)+ 3=120+3=123
