Q2. Find the LCM and HCF of the following pairs of integers and verify that LCM × HCF = product of the two numbers.

(i) 26 and 91

Solution: 26 and 91

               Prime factors of 26 and 91 are

               26 =2X13

              91 =7X13

             Therefore, LCM(26,91) =2X7X13 =182

              And HCF(26,91) = 13

             Verification:-

                                product of 26 and 91 =26X91 =2366 and product of LCM and HCF =182X13 =2366                                                      Hence, LCM X HCF = product of 26 and 91.

(ii) 510 and 92

Solution: 510 and 92

                  Prime factors of 510 and 92 are

                  510 =2X3X5X17

                  92 = 2X2X33

                 Therefore, LCM(510,92) =2X2X3X5X17X23 =23460 and HCF (510,92) = 2

              Verification:- product of 510 and 92 =510X92 =46920 and product of LCM and HCF =23460X2 =46920 Hence, LCM X HCF = product of 510 and 92.

(iii) 336 and 54

Solution:

                336 and 54 Prime factors of 336 and 54 are

                336 =2X2X2X2X3X7

                54 =2X3X3X3

Therefore, LCM(336,54) =2^4X3³X7 =3024 and HCF(336,54) =2X3 =6.

Verification:- product of 336 and 54 =336X54 =18144 and product of LCM and HCF =336X54 =18144

Hence, LCM X HCF = product of 336 and 54 .

Q3) Find the LCM and HCF of the following integers by applying the prime factorisation method.

(i) 12, 15 and 21

Solution:

                12, 15 and 21 prime factor of three number are

               12 =2X2X3

              15 =3X5

              21 =3X7

Therefore, LCM(12,15,21) =2X2X3X5X7 =420 HCF(12,15,21) =3 Hence, LCM and HCF(12,15,21) is 420 and 3 respectively.

(ii) 17, 23 and 29

Solution:

               17, 23 and 29 prime factor of three number are

               17 =17X1

               23 =23X1

              29 =29X1

            Therefore, LCM(17,23,29) =17X23X29 =11339

                            HCF(17,23,29) =1

                           Hence, LCM and HCF(17,23,29) is 11339 and 1 respectively.

(iii) 8, 9 and 25

Solution:

                8, 9 and 25 prime factor of three numberare

                8 =2X2X2X1

                9 =3X3X1

               25 =5X5X1

               Therefore, LCM(8,9,25) =2X2X2X3X3X5X5 =1800

                            HCF(8,9,25) =1

             Hence, LCM and HCF(8,9,25) is 1800 and 1 respectively.

Q4) Given that HCF (306, 657) = 9, find LCM (306, 657).

Solution:

              LCM X HCF =Product of two numbers

              Therefore, LCM X 9 =306X657

                                LCM = 306X657/9

                                LCM = 22338

           Hence, LCM (306, 657) is 22338.

Q5) Check whether 6^n can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.

Solution:

              If the number 6^n, for any n, were to end with the digit zero, then it would be divisible by 5. As we know that any number with unit place as 0 or 5 divisible by 5.

 Prime factorization of 6^n =(2X3)^n Therefore, the Prime factorization of 6^n doesn’t contain prime number 5. Hence, it is clear that there is no natural number n for which 6^n ends with the digit zero.

Q6) Explain why 7 × 11 × 13 + 13 and 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 5 are composite numbers.

Solution:

composite numbers:-

                                 Composite numbers are those number which have more than two factors other than one and the number itself.

                         In the expression we have, 7X11X13+13 13(7X11+1) (Taking 13 as common)

                         13X78 =1014 =13X13X2X3

                Hence, 7X11X13+13 number have more than two factor so it is a composite numbers.

            7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 5 5(7X6X1X4X3X2X1+1) (By taking 5 as a common.)

           5X1009 = 5045 =5X1009 Hence, 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 5 number have more than two factor so it is a composite number.

Q7) There is a circular path around a sports field. Sonia takes 18 minutes to drive one round of the field, while Ravi takes 12 minutes for the same. Suppose they both start at the same point and at the same time, and go in the same direction. After how many minutes will they meet again at the starting point?

Solution:

              Since, Sonia and Ravi are moving in same direction and at the same time. To find the time of meeting again at starting point, we will take LCM of 18 and 12 Therefore, LCM(18,12) 18 =2X3X3 12 =2X2X3 LCM(18,12) =2X3X2X3 = 36 Hence, Sonia and Ravi will meet again at the starting point after 36 minutes.
