Question

given the hcf (150,100)=50 find lcm

Answer 1

lcm*hcf=product of two numbers
lcm*50=150*100
lcm=150*100/50
lcm=300

Answer 2

"L.C.M. = 300

Given:

H.C.F. (150,100) = 50

To find:

L.C.M.

Solution:

1st number = 150

2nd number = 100

H.C.F =  50

There is a formula that deals with the H.C.F., L.C.M. and the product of the numbers. Using the formula, any one of the missing can be found.

$H.CF \times \quad L.C.M = 1st number \times \quad 2nd number$

$L.C.M = \quad \frac {1st \quad Number \times \quad 2nd \quad Number} {H.C.F}$    

$L.C.M=\quad \frac {150 \times 100} {50}$

L.C.M=300"
