iii. 18, 32
∴ LCM of 18 and 32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 2
= 288
iv. 10, 15, 20
∴ LCM of 10, 15 and 20 = 5 x 2 x 3 x 2
= 60
v. 45, 86
∴ LCM of 45 and 86 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 43
= 3870
vi. 15, 30, 90
∴ LCM of 15,30 and 90 = 3 x 5 x 2 x 3
= 90
vii. 105, 195
∴ LCM of 105 and 195 = 5 x 3 x 7 x 13
= 1365
viii. 12, 15, 45
∴ LCM of 12, 15 and 45 = 3 x 3 x 2 x 5 x 2
= 180
ix. 63, 81
∴ LCM of 63 and 81 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 3
= 567
x. 18, 36, 27
∴ LCM of 18, 36 and 27 = 3 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 3
= 108
Question 2.
Find the HCF and LCM of the numbers given below. Verify that their product is equal to the product of the given numbers:
i. 32, 37
ii. 46, 51
iii. 15, 60
iv. 18, 63
v. 78, 104
Solution:
i. 32 = 2 x 16
= 2 x 2 x 8
= 2 x 2 x 2 x 4
= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 1
37 = 37 x 1
∴ HCF of 32 and 37 =1
LCM of 32 and 37 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 37
= 1184
HCF x LCM = 1 x 1184
= 1184
Product of the given numbers = 32 x 37
= 1184
∴ HCF x LCM = Product of the given numbers.
ii. 46 = 2 x 23 x 1
51 = 3 x 17 x 1
∴ HCF of 46 and 51 = 1
LCM of 46 and 51 = 2 x 23 x 3 x 17
= 2346
HCF x LCM = 1 x 2346
= 2346
Product of the given numbers = 46 x 51
= 2346
∴ HCF x LCM = Product of the given numbers.
iii. 15 = 3 x 5
60 = 2 x 30
= 2 x 2 x 15
= 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
∴ HCF of 15 and 60 = 3 x 5
= 15
LCM of 15 and 60 = 3 x 5 x 2 x 2
= 60
HCF x LCM = 15 x 60
= 900
Product of the given numbers = 15 x 60
= 900
∴ HCF x LCM = Product of the given numbers.
iv. 18 = 2 x 9
= 2 x 3 x 3
63 = 3 x 21
= 3 x 3 x 7
∴ HCF of 18 and 63 = 3 x 3
= 9
LCM of 18 and 63 = 3 x 3 x 2 x 7
= 126
HCF x LCM = 9 x 126
= 1134
Product of the given numbers = 18 x 63
= 1134
∴ HCF x LCM = Product of the given numbers.
v. 78 = 2 x 39
= 2 x 3 x 13
104 = 2 x 52
= 2 x 2 x 26
= 2 x 2 x 2 x 13
∴ HCF of 78 and 104 = 2 x 13
= 26
LCM of 78 and 104 = 2 x 13 x 3 x 2 x 2
= 312
HCF x LCM = 26 x 312
= 8112
Product of the given numbers = 78 x 104
= 8112
∴ HCF x LCM = Product of the given numbers.
