find LCM and hcf of 306 and 657 .verify that lcm x hcf= product of two numbers
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Prime factorisation of 306 = 2×3×3×17
Prime factotisation of 657 =3×3×73
so , HCF = 3×3 = 9
LCM = 2×3×3×17×73 = 22338
We knoew that
HCF × LCM = prod. of two no
9×22338 = 306×657
201,042= 201,042
Hence verified
Given,
a = 306
b = 657
To Find,
LCM and HCF of a and b, and hence verify lcm x hcf = product of two numbers
Solution,
The given numbers are 306 and 657
The LCM and HCF of these numbers can be found out using the method of prime factorization
The prime factorization of 306 and 657 are:
306 = 2 × 3² × 17
657 = 3² × 73
Now, HCF of these numbers are given by multiplying the common factors of these numbers
The common factors of 306 and 657 is 3²
Therefore, HCF = 3² = 9
Now, the LCM is given by multiplying the HCF of 306 and 657 with the non-common prime factors of 306 and 657
Therefore, LCM = 9 × 2 × 17 × 73 = 22,338
Now, LCM × HCF = 9 × 22,338 = 201042
a × b = 306 × 657 = 201042
Hence verified that LCM × HCF = product of the two numbers
