Question

find the H.C.F of the numbers 145 and 232 and find the L.C.M. with the help of H.C.F​

Answer 1

Hi there,

So -

For HCF : refer my attachment

(HCF = 29)

Now,

we know the formula :

$a \times b = HCF \: \times LCM$

We need to find LCM :

$LCM = \frac{a \times b} {HCF}$

Let 145 be 'a'

and 232 be 'b'

and we have already calculated HCF = 29

Putting the values in the formula we get :

$LCM = \frac{145 \times 232}{29}$

Then we get :

$LCM = 1160$

Thus, LCM = 1160

FINAL ANSWERS : HCF = 29, LCM = 1160

HOPE THIS HELPS

THANKS
