Question

6. Find the H.C.F. and L.C.M. of 25152 and 12156
557 by using the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.​

Answer 1

Answer:

To get the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 25152 and 12156 we need to factor each value first and then we choose all the factors which appear in any column and multiply them:

25152: 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 131

12156: 2 2 3 1013

LCM: 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 131 1013

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) is: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 131 x 1013 = 25478976
