LCM of 15 and 18 = 90 Smallest number which is 108 = 72 × 1 + 36
Required Number = 90 + 3 = 93 divisible by 12, 16 and 24 72 = 36 × 2 + 0
2. (c) = LCM (12, 16 and 24) = 48 Hence, 5a = 5 × 36 = 180
When we divide 550 by 48 we get Now,
LCM of numbers
quotient = 11 remainder = 22
= HCF × [product of ratio] 108 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
Thus, The first number greater
= 3 × 4 × 5 = 60 than 550 which is divisible by 48 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
3. (a) = 550 + (48 – remainder) 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
Given that, LCM of a and b is = 42 = 550 + 26 = 576 LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
Hence LCM of 11a and 5b Hence, the number which are = 216
