Question

If two positive integers a and b are expressible in the form a= pq² and b= p³q; P,q being prime numbers, find Lcm (a, b) and HCF (a, b).

Answer 1

• a = pq^2
• b = p^3 q
• p and q are prime numbers
• HCF = pq
• LCM = p^3 q^2

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

Given :

a = pq²& b = p³q, p & q are prime number.

The factors are as follows:

a = p¹ x q²

b = p³ x q¹

HCF (a,b) = pq²

Hence, p³q²

HCF= HCFof two or more numbers product of the greatest power of each common prime factor involved in the numbers with highest power.
