Shweta Shrivastava, an expert at jagranjosh has prepared some important sample Questions based on the concept of "Highest Common Factor (H.C.F.) and Least Common Multiple (L.C.M.)" from the Quantitative Aptitude segment.
Least Common Multiple (L.C.M.) : The least number which is exactly divisible by each one of the given numbers is called their L.C.M.
There are two methods of finding the L.C.M .of two or more than two numbers:
1.Factorization Method
2.Common Division Method
Highest Common Factor (H.C.F.) : The H.C.F. of two or more than two numbers is the greatest number that divides each of them exactly.
There are two methods of finding the H.C.F. of two or more than two numbers:
1.Factorization Method
2.Division Method
Important Formulas of L.C.M. and H.C.F. of Numbers:
Product of two numbers =Product of their H.C.F and L.C.M.
H.C.F. = (H.C.F.of Numerators)/(L.C.M.of Denominators)
L.C.M. = (L.C.M.of Numerators)/(H.C.F.of Denominators)
Directions: Mark the correct Answer:
