Question

How do I interpret whether a question (word problems) is of LCM or HCF?

Answer 1

Answer:

$hello$

Least Common Multiple, also called LCM is that smallest number which is completely divisible by a given set of numbers. For example, 30 is completely divisible by 5, 10 & 15 and hence is the LCM of 5,10 & 15. There is no number less than 30 that can boast the same.
