Question

2. prime factors of two given numbers a and b
are a = xy^3yz^4 and b= xy² where xyz are
prime numbers. Find LCM (a, b)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

HCF by using the prime factorization method.

Step1:

Find the prime factorization of each of the number

Step2:

The product of all common prime factor is the HCF

Here,

⇒a=x×x×y×y

⇒b=x×y×y

common Factors are x×y×y

Thus ,

HCF(a,b)=xy
