Solution :
Given : There are two sections- section A and section B of grade X.
There are 32 students in section A and 36 students in section B
the product of two positive integers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM is true
Solution:
To find the minimum number of books you will acquire for the class library, so that they can be distributed equally among students of Section A or Section B
we need to find LCM of 32 and 36
32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
= 288
288 minimum number of books
LCM * HCF = Product of numbers
288 x HCF = 32 x 36
=> HCF = 4
HCF (32 , 36) is 4
