Question

what is thehcf and lcm of the smallest composite number and smallest prime number

Answer 1

Hi there!

♦ Smallest prime number = 2
♦ Smallest composite number = 4

2 = 2 × 1

4 = 2 × 2

HCF (2, 4) = 2

LCM (2, 4) = 2 × 2 = 4

hope it helps! :)

Answer 2

the smallest composite no. is 4{1×2×2}
the smallest prime no. is 2{1×2}
now their hcf is 2 .

their lcm is 2×2=4

so hcf is 2 and lcm is 4
