Question

Find the HCF and LCM of the numbers given below. Verify that their product is equal to the product of the given numbers.

32, 37

Answer 1

2	32
2	16
2	8
2	4
2	2
	1

 

37	37
	1

32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

37 = 37

HCF = 1

LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 37

= 32 × 37

= 1184

Product of two numbers = 32 × 37

= 1184

Product of HCF and LCM = 1 × 1184

= 1184
