Find the LCM and HCF of the following pairs of integers and verify that LCM× HCF = product of the two numbers.
336 and 54
Answers
Answer:
Answer
Prime factorisation of 336=2×2×2×2×3×7
Prime factorisation of 54=2×3×3×3
Hence, LCM of 336,54=2×3×2×2×2×7×3×3=3024
And HCF of 336,54=2×3=6
Now, LCM × HCF =3024×6=18144
Also, 336×54=18144
i.e., HCF × LCM = Product of the two numbers
✳ SOLUTION ✳
⋆HCF⋆
For Finding HCF of 336 and 54 , let us first do the prime factorization of 336 and 54
♢ 336 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 ×7
♢ 54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
∴ The HCF of 336 and 54 = 2 × 3
The HCF of 336 and 54 = 6
✳LCM✳
For also finding the LCM of 336 and 54 , let us first do the prime factorization of 336 and 54
✩ 336 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7
✩ 54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
∴ The LCM of 336 and 54 = 2 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 3 × 3
The LCM of 336 and 54 = 3024
Verification
We have to verify that :- LCM× HCF = product of the two numbers.
⋆LCM = 3024
⋆HCF = 6
⋆The Two numbers are 336 and 54
LHS
HCF × LCM = 6 × 3024
HCF × LCM = 18144
RHS
Product of the two numbers = 336 × 54
Product of the two numbers = 18144
∴ Verified that LCM× HCF = Product of the two numbers
