Question

Find hcf and lcm of 337554 and 26676

Answer 1

write the given numbers into product of prime.

i ) 26676 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 ×13 ×19

= 2² × 3³ × 13 ×19

ii ) 337554 = 2 ×3 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 19 × 47

= 2 × 3³ × 7 × 19 × 47

*********************************************************************

HCF :

The HCF of two positive integers is defined as the product of the

smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers.

******************************************************************************

Now HCF ( 26626 , 337554 ) = 2 × 3³

= 2 × 27

= 54

Therefore required HCF = 54


I hope this helps you.
