Ananya Das answered |
Factors are following:
5 = 5 x 1
15 = 5 x 3
20 = 2 x 2 x 5
5 = 5 x 1
15 = 5 x 3
20 = 2 x 2 x 5
LCM = 5 x 3 x 2 x 2 = 60
HCF = 5
Ratio = LCM/HCF = 60/5 = 12/1 = 12:1
HCF = 5
Ratio = LCM/HCF = 60/5 = 12/1 = 12:1

Baishali Kulkarni answered |
Lets assume that √7 is rational number. ie √7=p/q.
suppose p/q have common factor then
we divide by the common factor to get √7 = a/b were a and b are co-prime number.
that is a and b have no common factor.
√7 =a/b co- prime number
√7= a/b
a=√7b
squaring
a^2=7b^2 ....1
a� is divisible by 7
a=7c
substituting values in 1
(7c)^2=7b^2
49c^2=7b^2
7c^2=b^2
b^2=7c^2
b^2 is divisible by 7
that is a and b have atleast one common factor 7. This is contridite to the fact that a and b have no common factor.This is happen because of our wrong assumption.
√7 is irrational.

Avinash Patel answered |
Greatest 5-Digit number = 99999
LCM of 8 and 9,
8 = 2 × 2 × 2
9 = 3 × 3
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 72
Now, dividing 99999 by 72, we get
Quotient = 1388
Remainder = 63
So, the greatest 5-digit number divisible by 8 and 9 = 99999 - 63 = 99936
Required number = 99936 + 5 = 99941

Meera Rana answered |
As per question, we have,
p = ab2 = a × b × b
q = a3b = a × a × a × b
So, their Least Common Multiple (LCM) = a3 × b2
p = ab2 = a × b × b
q = a3b = a × a × a × b
So, their Least Common Multiple (LCM) = a3 × b2

Ananya Das answered |
The product of LCM and HCF of any two given natural numbers is equivalent to the product of the given numbers.
LCM × HCF = Product of the Numbers
Suppose A and B are two numbers, then.
LCM (A & B) × HCF (A & B) = A × B
Example: Prove that: LCM (9 & 12) × HCF (9 & 12) = Product of 9 and 12.
->LCM and HCF of 9 and 12:
9 = 3 × 3 = 3²
12 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 2² × 3
LCM of 9 and 12 = 2² × 3² = 4 × 9 = 36
HCF of 9 and 12 = 3
LCM (9 & 12) × HCF (9 & 12) = 36 × 3 = 108
Product of 9 and 12 = 9 × 12 = 108
Hence, LCM (9 & 12) × HCF (9 & 12) = 108 = 9 × 12
->LCM and HCF of 9 and 12:
9 = 3 × 3 = 3²
12 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 2² × 3
LCM of 9 and 12 = 2² × 3² = 4 × 9 = 36
HCF of 9 and 12 = 3
LCM (9 & 12) × HCF (9 & 12) = 36 × 3 = 108
Product of 9 and 12 = 9 × 12 = 108
Hence, LCM (9 & 12) × HCF (9 & 12) = 108 = 9 × 12

Rohan Kapoor answered |
Let a be any positive integer and b = 2.
Applying Euclid’s algorithm, we have:
a = 2q + r, for some integer q ≥ 0, and 0 ≤ r < 2
a = 2q or 2q + 1
If a = 2q, then a is an even integer.
Now, a positive integer can either be even or odd. Thus, any positive odd integer is of the form 2q + 1.

Some rules associated with Multiplicative Inverse are discussed in following ways :-
Rule 1 = If product of two Fractional Numbers is equal to 1, then each of the Fractional Numbers is the Multiplicative Inverse of other.
Rule 2 = If the product of a Fractional Number and a Whole Number is equal to 1, then each is the Multiplicative Inverse of other.
Rule 3 = Multiplicative Inverse of 1 is also 1.
Rule 4 = Multiplicative Inverse of 0 (zero) does not exists

Ananya Das answered |
We have two numbers such that their product is equal to -20/9.
So we have x*y=-20/9
One no. is given 4, so
x*4=-20/9
x=-20/9 = 4
x=-20/9 x 1/4=-5/9
So we have x*y=-20/9
One no. is given 4, so
x*4=-20/9
x=-20/9 = 4
x=-20/9 x 1/4=-5/9

Rajiv Gupta answered |
Let's take two consecutive even numbers i.e, 2x and 2x+2.
Method 1 : Factorisation
Now factor both numbers
2 * x and 2 * (x+1). Therefore, the only common factor we get here is one and only 2, which turns out to be HCF itself.
Hence, HCF of two even consecutive number is 2.
Example take 10 and 12 or 4 and 6 HCF always turns out to be 2 as
10=2*5 and 12=2*6
Method 2:
If we calculate through simple division process. Let's say two consecutive even numbers are n and n+2.
If n+2 is divided by n, we get the remainder as 2.
And n is divisible by 2 as it is an even number.
Hence, HCF is 2.

Rohini Seth answered |
Let a be a given positive odd integer.
Applying Euclid’s Division Lemma to aa and b = 4,,
We have, a = 4q+r where 0 ⩽ r < 4 ⇒ r = 0, 1, 2, 3 ⇒ a = 4q or 4q+1 or 4q+2 or 4q+3
But a = 4q and 4q+2 = 2(2q+1)are clearly even.
Also a = 4q, 4q+1, 4q+2, 4q+3 are consecutive integers, therefore any positive odd integer is of the form 4q+1 and 4q+3 where q is some integer.

Here, a = x3y2 and b = xy3.
⇒ a = x * x * x * y * y and b = xy * y * y
∴ LCM(a, b) = x * x * x * y * y * y = x3 * y3 = x3y3
LCM = x3y3
⇒ a = x * x * x * y * y and b = xy * y * y
∴ LCM(a, b) = x * x * x * y * y * y = x3 * y3 = x3y3
LCM = x3y3

The number 576 can be factorised as,
576 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×3×3
The number 448 can be factorised as,
448=2×2×2×2×2×2×7
Write the common factors of the given numbers.
2×2×2×2×2×22×2×2×2×2×2
Multiply the common factors to determine the highest common factor (HCF) of the given numbers.
2×2×2×2×2×2 = 642×2×2×2×2×2 = 64
Since the highest common factor (HCF) of the given numbers is 64, this implies that each section will have 64 number of students.
Now, we need to find the number of sections formed.
Let us first find the number of sections formed by the total number of boys by dividing 576 by 64.
576/64 = 9
Now, find the number of sections formed by the total number of girls by dividing 448 by 64.
448/64=7
Thus, the total number of sections formed will be 9+7=16
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
576 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×3×3

Rahul Kapoor answered |
Let the lcm be x and hcf be y and the other number be z.
Given lcm of 2 numbers is 45 times their hcf, the sum of HCF + LCM is 1150.
y = 45x. ---- (1)
x + y = 1150 --- (2)
Substitute equation (1) in (2), we get
46x = 1150
x = 25.
Substitute x = 25 in (1), we get
y = 45 * 25 = 1125.
We know that product of two numbers = LCM * HCF

Ananya Das answered |
LCM of 50 and 48 = 1200
∴ 1200 sec = 20 min
Hence at 12.20 pm they will beep again for the first time.
∴ 1200 sec = 20 min
Hence at 12.20 pm they will beep again for the first time.

Krishna Iyer answered |
If possible let a√b be rational. Then a√b = p/q,
where p and q are non-zero integers, having no common factor other than 1.
Now, a√b = p/q ⇒ √b = p/aq……….(i)
But, p and aq are both rational and aq ≠ 0.
∵ p/aq is rational.
Therefore, from eq. (i), it follows that √b is rational.
The contradiction arises by assuming that a√b is rational.
Hence, a√b is irrational.

Aditya Shah answered |
Here is your answer :
Given numbers are 20 and 24
Prime factorization of 20 = 2 x 2 x 5
Prime factorization of 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
LCM of 20 and 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
Hence, 120 is the least divisible by 20 and 24.
Prime factorization of 20 = 2 x 2 x 5
Prime factorization of 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
LCM of 20 and 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
Hence, 120 is the least divisible by 20 and 24.

Pragya joshi answered |
First of all find the HCF of 65 and 117,
117 = 1×65 + 52
65 = 1× 52 + 13
52 = 4 ×13 + 0
∴ HCF of 65 and 117 is 13.
65m - 117 = 13
65m = 117+13 = 130
∴m =130/65 = 2

Finding the LCM of 24, 60 and 150
To find the LCM of 24, 60, and 150, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Prime factorization
We need to find the prime factors of each number:
- 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
- 60 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
- 150 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5
Step 2: Identify common factors
We need to identify the common factors among the prime factorizations of the numbers. We can see that 2 and 3 are the common factors.
Step 3: Multiply common factors
We need to multiply the common factors once and any remaining factors from each number:
- 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 = 600
Therefore, the LCM of 24, 60, and 150 is 600. Answer: (c) 600.

Om Khanna answered |
Given- least common factor (LCM) = 78
Greatest divisor is also a HCF = 13
As, we know , HCF x LCM = A x B ( A and B are two natural no. of which LCM and HCF is given)
Therefore, req product of no. = 13 x 78 = A x B =1014 or 2*3*13*13
since 13 is common in both no. as its hcf is 13
req no.= 13*3=39 and 13*2 = 26

Amit Sharma answered |
We have two numbers such that their product is equal to -20/9.
So we have x*y=-20/9
One no. is given 4, so
x*4=-20/9
x=-20/9 = 4
x=-20/9 x 1/4=-5/9
So we have x*y=-20/9
One no. is given 4, so
x*4=-20/9
x=-20/9 = 4
x=-20/9 x 1/4=-5/9

Maitri Kulkarni answered |
LCM (12, 15, 18, 27) = 540
Now, largest four digit number = 9999
∴ 9999 ÷ 540 = 18 x 540 + 279 (Remainder = 279) Therefore, the largest number of 4 digits exactly divisible by 12, 15, 18 and 27 is 9999 – 279 = 9720
Now, largest four digit number = 9999
∴ 9999 ÷ 540 = 18 x 540 + 279 (Remainder = 279) Therefore, the largest number of 4 digits exactly divisible by 12, 15, 18 and 27 is 9999 – 279 = 9720
