Question Detail

Find the greatest number which on dividing 1661 and 2045, leaves a reminder of 10 and 13 respectively

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In this type of question, its obvious we need to calculate the HCF, trick is
HCF of (1661 - 10) and (2045 -13)
= HCF (1651, 2032) = 127

1. Find the greatest number which on dividing 1661 and 2045, leaves a reminder of 10 and 13 respectively

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In this type of question, its obvious we need to calculate the HCF, trick is
HCF of (1661 - 10) and (2045 -13)
= HCF (1651, 2032) = 127

2. If LCM of two number is 693, HCF of two numbers is 11 and one number is 99, then find other

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

For any this type of question, remember
Product of two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCM

So Other number = \begin{aligned} \frac{693 \times 11}{99} \end{aligned} = 77

3. If the product of two numbers is 84942 and their H.C.F. is 33, find their L.C.M.

2574
2500
1365
1574

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

HCF * LCM = 84942, because we know

Product of two numbers = Product of HCF and LCM

LCM = 84942/33 = 2574

4. What will be the LCM of 8, 24, 36 and 54

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

LCM of 8-24-36-54 will be
2*2*2*3*3*3 = 216

5. Find the HCF of 54, 288, 360

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Lets solve this question by factorization method.

\begin{aligned}
18 = 2 \times 3^2, 288 = 2^5 \times 3^2, 360 = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5
\end{aligned}

So HCF will be minimum term present in all three, i.e.
\begin{aligned}
2 \times 3^2 = 18
\end{aligned}
