The greatest common factor, or GCF, (also known as HCF) is the largest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest positive integer that all the members of a given set of numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.

The difference between the LCM and HCF of the numbers 5 10 and 35 is?

The GCF is 5. The LCM is 70. The difference is 65.


Can the HCF of two numbers be a factor of their LCM?

The HCF is always a factor of the LCM of two numbers. The HCF is a factor of both the numbers which are factors of their LCM. Thus the HCF is also a factor of the LCM of the two numbers.


What is the HCF and LCM of the numbers 526 and 213?

hcf: 1 lcm: 112,038


What is the relation between HCF and LCM?

Since the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their GCF and LCM, the GCF of two numbers is equal to their product divided by their LCM and their LCM is equal to their product divided by their GCF.


Can HCF and LCM of two numbers be 27 and 288?

No. The LCM MUST be a multiple of the HCF.


What numbers have a HCF of 3 and a LCM of 3?

Two or more numbers are needed to solve for HCF or LCM.


The LCM of two numbers is twice their HCF?

5 and 10 lcm- 10 and hcf= 5


How do you find sets of two numbers if HCF and LCM are known?

You cannot. The numbers 2 and 12 have hcf = 2 and LCM = 12 The numbers 4 and 6 also have hcf = 2 and LCM = 12 So if you just knew the hcf and LCM you would not know which of the two was the required pair.


If the HCF and LCM of two numbers are 17 and 102 respectively and the HCF and LCM of two other numbers are 68 and 476 respectively then find the sum of the HCF and LCM of these four numbers?

HCF of 17 and 68 is 17 ..( Lowest Prime factor ) LCM Of 102 and 476 is 7*2^2*3*17 which is 1428 .. ==> Sum of HCF and LCM are 1428+17= 1445 .


If the product oftwo numbers is 810 if there HCF IS 9 FIND LCM?

if the product of two numbers is 810 if there hcf is 9 find Lcm


Can two numbers have 16 as their HCF and 380 as their LCM?

LCM = product/HCF so product = LCM/HCF in this case 380/16 which is 23.75, so the answer to your question is no.


How would you explain the LCM of the two numbers is their product?

The LCM of two numbers is their product if and only if the two numbers are co prime, that is their HCF is 1. Otherwise their LCM in not their product, in fact, it is their product divided by their HCF.
