Question

apply fundamental theorem of arithmetic to find HCF and LCM of 50 and 72 ​

Answer 1

Hi there !!

By the fundamental theorem,

50= 2×5×5 =2×5²

72=2×2×2×3×3

=2³×3²

L.C.M (highest power)=2³×5²×3²

=1800

H.C.F (least power)=2

You can easily verified answers by multiplying l.cm and hcf

Thankyou :)
