(LCM & HCF)

➢ LCM (Least Common Multiple) ➢ The number which when divided by a, b, c


➢ The least common multiple (LCM) is leaves remainder 'r' in each case =
defined as the smallest multiple that two or LCM(a,b,c) × k + r
more number have in common. ➢ The number which when divided by a, b, c
➢ LCM of the any two number is the value respectively gives remainder x, y, z such
that is completely divisible by the two that common difference (d) = a–x = b–y =
given numbers. c–z
➢ number = LCM (a, b, c)k – d
Ex. Find LCM of 36, 45.
➢ HCF (Highest common factor)
36 → 36,72,108,144,180,216,252 … ➢ HCF is used to find the highest common
factors of any two or more given integers.
45 → 45,90,135,180, 225,270 … ➢ In other words HCF is the largest positive
LCM (36,45) → 180 (Least common integer that divides each of the given
multiple of both) integers.

➢ Find LCM of 24, 30, 36. Ex. Find HCF of 40, 64.
24 → 23 × 31 40 → (1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40)
30 → 21 × 31 × 5
36 → 22 × 32 64 → (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64)
LCM = 23 × 32 × 51 (Take max. power of common-factors of 40, 64 ⇒ [1, 2, 4, ]

➢ Find LCM of 55, 66, 60.
55 → 5 × 11 LCM = 22 × 3 × 5 × 11 = HCF is the greatest common number which
𝟔𝟔𝟎 divide all the given numbers.
66 → 2 × 3 × 11 ➢

➢ Find LCM of 55, 66, 60. Hy
Numbers = Hx, Hy x : y
𝑥, 𝑦 → co-prime
LCM = H𝑥𝑦
How to find HCF
➢ Product of co-prime number = their LCM ➢ Factorization Method
➢ Find HCF of 168, 294, 420

MATHS FORMULA BOOK CAT/ XAT/SNAP/NMAT(OMETS)


79
168 → 23 × 3 × 7
Take minimum power of common in all
294 → 2 × 3 × 72 ∴ HCF ⇒ 2 × 3 ×
7 = 𝟒𝟐
420 → 22 × 3 × 5 × 7
➢ Difference Method HCF of (1008, 1323) = 63
➢ HCF of two numbers =H Diff. = Hx – Hy 1722 not divisible by 9 ∴ Remove 9 from
Numbers = Hx, Hy = H(x–y) 63
x,y → co-prime ↓ Hence not divisible by 63
HCF = diff. → 1722 divisible by 21
fector ∴ HCF (1008, 1323, 1722) = 21
➢ 693, 945
HCF = 63

HCF of 2 numbers can not be greater than


their difference.

1,2,1,3 → successive quotient


∴ HCF = difference = 𝟖 ➢ Note: If 2 or 3 numbers are even their HCF
➢ will be even. If any one number is odd their
HCF can not be even.
𝑑 = 85 → 17 × 5 ➢ If HCF of 2 numbers = H ∴ LCM = Hxy
➢ Nos. → Hx, Hy Diff. = H(x–y)
𝑥, 𝑦 → co-prime Sum = H(x+y)
∴ HCF is present in lcm, difference & sum
of the numbers.
18, 30 HCF = 6

∴ Both number divisible by 23


Both are even number
∴ HCF = 23 × 2 = 46 ➢ H𝑥 × H𝑦 = H𝑥𝑦 × H
➢ I × II = LCM × HCF
H 2 𝑥𝑦 = H 2 𝑥𝑦
➢ I × II = LCM × HCF
⇒ 1st no. × 2nd no. = LCM × HCF
➢ 'K' is the largest number which when divide
19 divide all 3 a, b, c gives same remainder 'r' & quotients
∴ HCF = 19 are x, y, z respectively

The triangle inequality states that for any triangle
the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be
greater than the length of the remaining side.

➢ Calendar is a measure of time having day as the smallest unit.


➢ Ordinary Year A year having 365 days, is called ordinary year.
➢ Leap Year A year having 366 days, is called leap year.
➢ Odd Days Number of days more than the complete numbers of weeks in a given period is called odd days.
➢ Important Points Related to Calendar
(i) Every year, except a centurial year is a leap year, if it is divisible by 4.
(ii) Every 4th century is a leap year. A centurial year is a leap year, if it is divisible by 400.
(iii) An ordinary year has only one odd day.
(iv) A leap year has only two odd days.
(v) 100 yr i.e. 1 century contains
76 + 24 × 2 = 76 + 48 odd days
= 124 odd days
= 17 weeks + 5 odd days
So, 100 year have 5 odd days.
(vi) 200 year contain 5 × 2 odd days = 1 week + 3 odd days
So, 200 year contain 3 odd days.
Similarly, 300 year contain 1 odd day
400 year contain 5 × 4 + 1 odd day = 21 odd days = 3 week
i.e. 400 year contain no odd days

Rule 3
How to find the number of leap years between two given years.
➢ Generally gap between two leap years is 4 years.
➢ Sometimes when century year comes between the gap between two leap years may be 8 years.

Example → After 1696 next year would be 1704 because 1700 is not a leap year.
➢ Find number of leap year
Step-1
Divide the given years of 4 and note down the quotient.
Step-2
Subtract from the quotient the number of century year which are not leap year to get the number of leap
years.
Example 1.
15
Find number of leap years in first 15 years ⇒ , Quotient = 3
4

∴ Number of leap years = 3


Example 2.
300
Find number of leap years in first 300 years ⇒ , Quotient = 75
4

Normal century years = 100, 200, 300


∴ Number of leap years = 75 – 3 = 72

Rule 4 →
➢ The remainder obtained by dividing the number of days by 7, will be called odd days.
Day Codes for the odd days
Sunday → 1
Monday → 2
Tuesday → 3
Wednesday → 4
Thursday → 5
Friday → 6
Saturday → 0

Example →
What was day on 26 November 2016 ?

Step-1 →
26
Divide the date by 7 and take remainder ,R=5
7

Step-2 →
16
Divide the last 2 digit of the year by 7 and take remainder ,R=2
7

Step-3 →
16
Divide the last 2 digit of the year by 7 and take remainder ,R=2
7

Step-4 →
16
Divide the last 2 digit of the year by 4 and take quotient , Quotient = 4
4

Step-5 →

Take century code ⇒ 2000 + → 6

Step-6 →
Take sum of all values from step-1 to step 5 and divide by 7.
5 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 6 21
= , Remainder = 0
7 7
Remainder obtained will be day code
∴ Code 0 is for Saturday

∴ 26 November, 2016 → Saturday
