Study Note - LCM and HCF

LCM and HCF

1. LCM of fractions = LCM of numerator values / HCF of denominator values

2. HCF of fractions = HCF of numerator values / LCM of denominator values

3. HCF of two numbers × LCM of two numbers = Product of two number

4. Greatest number that will exactly divide x, y, z is = HCF of x, y, z.

5. Greatest number that will divide x, y, z and leaving remainders as a, b, c respectively is =

HCF of ((x-a), (y-b), (z-c))

6. Greatest number that will divide x, y, z and leaving same remainder R in each case is =

HCF of ((x-R), (y-R), (z-R))

7. Greatest number that will divide x, y, z and leaving same remainder in each case is =

HCF of (|x-y|, |y-z|, |z-x|)

8. Least number that will exactly divisible by x, y, z is = LCM of x, y, z.

9. Least number that will divisible by x, y, z and leave the same remainder R in each case is

= LCM of (x, y, z) + R

10. Least number that will divisible by x, y, z and leave remainders a, b, c respectively is =

LCM of (x, y, z).- K [Where K=x-a=y-b=z-c]
