LCM and HCF
-  The smallest square number divisible by 10, 16 and 24 is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum We find LCM of = 10, 16, 24  
 ∴ LCM = 22 × 22 × 3 × 5
 ∴ Required number = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5Correct Option: DWe find LCM of = 10, 16, 24  
 ∴ LCM = 22 × 22 × 3 × 5
 ∴ Required number = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5
 Required number = 3600
-  The least number, which when divided by 12, 15, 20 or 54 leaves a remainder of 4 in each case, is :
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Here , Remainder ( r ) = 4 
 As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
 So , LCM of 15, 12, 20, 54 ( k ) = 540Correct Option: DHere , Remainder ( r ) = 4 
 As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
 So , LCM of 15, 12, 20, 54 ( k ) = 540
 Hence , Then number = k + r = 540 + 4 = 544
-  The least number which when divided by 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 leaves a remainder of 2 in each case is :
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Here , Remainder ( r ) = 2 
 As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
 So , L.C.M. of 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 = k = 48Correct Option: CHere , Remainder ( r ) = 2 
 As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
 So , L.C.M. of 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 = k = 48
 ∴ Required number = k + r = 48 + 2 = 50
-  The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 44 and 264 respectively. If the first number is divided by 2, the quotient is 44. The other number is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Given , The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 44 and 264 . 
 According to question ,
 First number = 2 × 44 = 88
 As we know that ,
 ∴ First number × Second number = H.C.F. × L.C.M.
 ⇒ 88 × Second number = 44 × 264Correct Option: CGiven , The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 44 and 264 . 
 According to question ,
 First number = 2 × 44 = 88
 As we know that ,
 ∴ First number × Second number = H.C.F. × L.C.M.
 ⇒ 88 × Second number = 44 × 264⇒ Second number = 44 × 264 = 132 88 
-  Find the greatest number of five digits which when divided by 3, 5, 8, 12 have 2 as remainder :
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Here , Remainder ( r ) = 2 
 As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
 The greatest number of five digits is 99999.
 LCM of 3, 5, 8 and 12 
 ∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 2 = 120
 After dividing 99999 by 120, we get 39 as remainder
 99999 – 39 = 99960 = ( 833 × 120 )Correct Option: DHere , Remainder ( r ) = 2 
 As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
 The greatest number of five digits is 99999.
 LCM of 3, 5, 8 and 12 
 ∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 2 = 120
 After dividing 99999 by 120, we get 39 as remainder
 99999 – 39 = 99960 = ( 833 × 120 )
 99960 is the greatest five digit number divisible by the given divisors.
 In order to get 2 as remainder in each case we will simply add 2 to 99960.
 ∴ Greatest number = 99960 + 2 = 99962
