Question Detail

The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 12 and 5040 respectively If one of the numbers is 144, find the other number

  • 400
  • 256
  • 120
  • 420

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Solve this question by using below formula.
Product of 2 numbers = product of their HCF and LCM

144 * x = 12 * 5040

x = (12*5040)/144 = 420

\end{aligned}

  • 128
  • 126
  • 146
  • 434

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

HCF is Highest common factor, so we need to get the common highest factors among given values. So we got
2 * 3*3 * 7

2. LCM of two numbers is 7700 and HCF is 11. If one number is 308 then other number is

  • 269
  • 285

  • 275

Answer: Option D

3. Reduce \begin{aligned}
\frac{368}{575}
\end{aligned} to the lowest terms.

  • \begin{aligned} \frac{30}{25} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{28}{29} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{28}{29} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{16}{25} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We can do it easily by in two steps
Step1: We get the HCF of 368 and 575 which is 23
Step2: Divide both by 23, we will get the answer 16/25

4. Find the largest number which divides 62,132,237 to leave the same reminder

  • 30
  • 32
  • 35
  • 45

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Trick is HCF of (237-132), (132-62), (237-62)
= HCF of (70,105,175) = 35

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

  • 125
  • 127
  • 129
  • 131

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
