2. Find the LCM and HCF of the following pairs of integers and verify that LCM × HCF = product of the two numbers.
(i) 26 and 91
(ii) 510 and 92
(iii) 336 and 54
Answers
Solutions:
(i) 26 and 91
Expressing 26 and 91 as product of its prime factors, we get,
26 = 2 × 13 × 1
91 = 7 × 13 × 1
Therefore, LCM (26, 91) = 2 × 7 × 13 × 1 = 182
And HCF (26, 91) = 13
Verification
Now, product of 26 and 91 = 26 × 91 = 2366
And Product of LCM and HCF = 182 × 13 = 2366
Hence, LCM × HCF = product of the 26 and 91.
(ii) 510 and 92
Expressing 510 and 92 as product of its prime factors, we get,
336 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 3 × 1
54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 1
Therefore, LCM(336, 54) = = 3024
And HCF(336, 54) = 2×3 = 6
Verification
Now, product of 336 and 54 = 336 × 54 = 18,144
And Product of LCM and HCF = 3024 × 6 = 18,144
Hence, LCM × HCF = product of the 336 and 54.
Answer:
(i) 26 = 2 × 13
91 =7 × 13
HCF = 13
LCM =2 × 7 × 13 =182
Product of two numbers 26 × 91 = 2366
Product of HCF and LCM 13 × 182 = 2366
Hence, product of two numbers = product of HCF × LCM
(ii) 510 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 17
92 =2 × 2 × 23
HCF = 2
LCM =2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 17 × 23 = 23460
Product of two numbers 510 × 92 = 46920
Product of HCF and LCM 2 × 23460 = 46920
Hence, product of two numbers = product of HCF × LCM
(iii) 336 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7
54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
HCF = 2 × 3 = 6
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 7 =3024
Product of two numbers 336 × 54 =18144
Product of HCF and LCM 6 × 3024 = 18144
Hence, product of two numbers = product of HCF × LCM.
