given LCM (202,303)=606 , Find HCF (202,303)
Answers
Explanation:
Approach 1. Integer numbers prime factorization:
Prime Factorization of a number: finding the prime numbers that multiply together to make that number.
202 = 2 × 101;
202 is not a prime, is a composite number;
303 = 3 × 101;
303 is not a prime, is a composite number;
* Positive integers that are only dividing by themselves and 1 are called prime numbers. A prime number has only two factors: 1 and itself.
* A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one factor (divisor) other than 1 and itself.
>> Integer numbers prime factorization
Calculate the least common multiple, lcm:
Multiply all the prime factors, by the largest exponents (if any).
lcm (202; 303) = 2 × 3 × 101;
lcm (202; 303) = 2 × 3 × 101 = 606
the numbers have common prime factors
