Correct Answer: 1683
Explanation:
L.C.M of 5, 6, 7, 8 = 840
Therefore, Required Number is of the form 840k+3.
Least value of k for which (840k+3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2
Therefore, Required Number = (840 x 2+3)=1683
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
60 is not a multiple of 8
Correct Answer: 308
Explanation:
Other number = = 308
Correct Answer: 111
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 37a and 37b. Then , 37a x 37b =4107 => ab = 3.
Now co-primes with product 3 are (1,3)
So, the required numbers are (37 x 1, 37 x 3) i.e, (37,111).
Therefore, Greater number = 111.
Correct Answer: 180
Correct Answer: 12240
Explanation:
LCM of (80, 85, 90) can be found by prime factorizing them.
80 ? 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
85 ? 17 × 5
90 ? 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 2 × 2 x 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 17
= 16 x 9 x 85
= 144 x 85
= 12240
L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 12240.
Correct Answer: 37
Explanation:
The number of liters in each can = HCF of 80, 144 and 368 = 16 liters.
Number of cans of Maaza = 368/16 = 23
Number of cans of Pepsi = 80/16 = 5
Number of cans of Sprite = 144/16 = 9
The total number of cans required = 23 + 5 + 9 = 37 cans.
Correct Answer: 91
Explanation:
Required number of students = H.C.F of 1001 and 910 = 91
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Required Number = H.C.F of (91- 43), (183- 91) and (183-43)
= H.C.F of 48, 92, and 140 = 4
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
LCD is nothing but Lowest or Least Common Denominator
Here LCD of 12 and 18 means LCD of two fractions with denominators 12 and 18 respectively.
Therefore, LCM of 12 & 18 = 6 x 3 x 2 = 36
The lowest common denominator or least common denominator (LCD) is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a set of fractions.
