HCF and LCM Question and Answer Set 1 : Solutions
Answer 1: A
Answer 2: C
Answer 3: B
Answer 4: D
Answer 5: C
Since last divisor = 37, quotient = 2, so dividend = 37 x 2 = 74
Divisor = 74, Quotient = 5 and Remainder = 37
Dividend = 74 x 5 + 37 = 407
Now, divisor = 407, quotient = 7 and remainder = 74.
So the dividend = 407 x 7 + 74 = 2923.
Thus, the numbers are 407 and 2923.
Answer 6: B
HCF of any number of prime numbers is always 1.
Answer 7: C
Since HCF of two coprime numbers = 1, So a = 2
The two coprime numbers are (36a + 5) and (115a + 16).
36a + 5 = 36×2 + 5 = 77
115a + 16 = 115×2 + 16 = 246
Greater Number = 246
Answer 8: A
111111 and 111111111 are both repunits having 3m digits. Hence both are divisible by 3 and 37. Hence (3 x 37) is necessarily a factor of both of the numbers. Thus HCF = 3 x 37 = 111
Answer 9: A
Let two numbers X and Y. Since 26 is HCF of X and Y.
So, X = 26a, Y = 26b where a and b are prime to each other.
XY = 8112
So, (26a)(26b) = 8112
So, 676ab = 8112
So, ab = 12.
Now, their product if 12 and they are prime to each other.
These are (1, 12) and (3, 4). Hence, only two pairs are possible.
Answer 10: C
XY = 69972
Let X = 7a and Y = 7b, where a and b are coprimes. H = 7. Now, we need to find the possible pairs of (a, b) whose product is equal to
(69972/49) = 1428 = 22 x 3 x 7 x 17
There are four different prime factors in 1428.
Thus, the number of possible pairs of (a, b) is 24-1 = 8
