Question

If p,q are two prime nbers then what is the H.C.F and L.C.M of p and q?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that prime numbers have two factors : 1 and the number itself

It is given that p and q are prime numbers. So they don't have factors apart from 1 and themselves. So the HCF is 1.

Now to get the LCM of two prime numbers we have to multiply the numbers by themselves. So, the LCM of p and q (because they are co-primes, i.e, having no common factors between them) is p multiplied by q.

HCF=1                 LCM=p multiplied by q
