Problem : 1 / 11 [ HCF_LCM ] Enter your problem 1. The HCF of two numbers is 14 and their LCM is 11592 . If one of the numbers is 504 , find the other?


Solution:	`"Here, HCF"=14, "LCM"=11592, "No1"=504 and "No2"=?` `"No1" * "No2" = "HCF" * "LCM"` `"No2 "= ( "HCF" * "LCM" ) / ("No1") = ( 14 * 11592 ) / 504 = 322`.

Problem : 2 / 11 [ HCF_LCM ] Enter your problem
2. Find the largest number which can exactly divide 513,783,1107 .

Solution:

`"Required number" = "HCF of " 513,783,1107 = 27`.

Find HCF of (513,783)

513

HCF of (513, 783) = 27

Now find HCF of (27,1107)

HCF of (27, 1107) = 27

`:.` HCF of given numbers (513,783,1107) = 27

Problem : 3 / 11 [ HCF_LCM ] Enter your problem

	1	1	1	1

LCM of 12,15,20,27 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 540

Problem : 4 / 11 [ HCF_LCM ] Enter your problem
4. Find the least number which when divided by 6,7, 8, 9,12 leaves the same remainder 2 in each case.

Solution:

`"Required number" = ( "LCM of " 6,7,8,9,12 ) + 2 = 504 + 2 = 506`.

2	6	7	8	9	12
2	3	7	4	9	6
2	3	7	2	9	3
3	3	7	1	9	3
3	1	7	1	3	1

Problem : 5 / 11 [ HCF_LCM ] Enter your problem
5. Find the largest number which divides 77 , 147 , 252 to leave the same remainder in each case.

Solution:

`"Required number" = "HCF of " ( 147 - 77 ), ( 252 - 147 ), ( 252 - 77 )`

`= "HCF of " 70, 105, 175 = 35`.

Factor of 70,105,175 are as follows...

70 = 2 × 5 × 7
105 = 3 × 5 × 7
175 = 5 × 5 × 7

2	70
5	35
7	7
	1

3	105
5	35
7	7
	1

5	175
5	35
7	7
	1

HCF = 5 × 7 = 35

HCF of `70,105,175` is `35`

Problem : 6 / 11 [ HCF_LCM ] Enter your problem
6. Greatest number which can divide 1354 , 1806 , 2762 leaving the same remainder 10 in each case.

Solution:

The number divides 1354 and leaves 10 as remainder
`:.` The number exactly divides 1354 - 10 = 1344

The number divides 1806 and leaves 10 as remainder
`:.` The number exactly divides 1806 - 10 = 1796

The number divides 2762 and leaves 10 as remainder
`:.` The number exactly divides 2762 - 10 = 2752

Now, we have to find HCF of `1344, 1796, 2752`

Find HCF of (1344,1796)

1344

HCF of (1344, 1796) = 4

Now find HCF of (4,2752)

HCF of (4, 2752) = 4

`:.` HCF of given numbers (1344,1796,2752) = 4

`:.` Required number = HCF of `1344, 1796, 2752 = 4`.

Problem : 7 / 11 [ HCF_LCM ] Enter your problem
