Question

find the HCF of the following LDM 216,828​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer

The given monomials 240 and 64x  

8

 can be factorised as follows:

240=2×2×2×2×3×5

64x  

8

=2×2×2×2×2×2×x×x×x×x×x×x×x×x

We know that HCF is the highest common factor, therefore, the HCF of 240 and 64x  

8

 is:

HCF=2×2×2×2=16

Also, the LCM is the least common multiple, therefore, the LCM of 240 and 64x  

8

 is:

LCM=2×2×2×2×2×2×3×5×x×x×x×x×x×x×x×x=960x  

8

 

Hence, the HCF is 16 and LCM is 960x  

8
