Question

Find the l c.m and h.c.f of 96and 404

Answer 1

Hello !!

For you answer this question correctly, you only need make use of this method below. See the resolution.

Least common multiple.

$\begin{array}{r|l}404,96&2\\202,48&2\\101,24&2\\101,12&2\\101,6&2\\101,3&3\\101,1&101\\1,1\end{array}$

_______________________

LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 101

LCM = 2^5 × 3 × 101

LCM = 32 × 3 × 101

LCM = 96 × 101

LCM = 9696

Highest common factor.

$\begin{array}{r|l}404,96&2\\202,48&2\\101,24\end{array}$

____________________

HCF = 2 × 2

HCF = 4

Final result : the least common multiple is 9696 and the highest common factor is 4.
