In this Class 10 Mathematics topic from Real Numbers, students learn to find the HCF and LCM of two or more numbers through prime factorisation. They break each number into prime factors, compare the resulting powers, and select the appropriate common factors: the lowest powers for HCF and the highest powers for LCM. The topic also develops accuracy in writing factor trees, simplifies comparison between methods, and helps students apply these concepts to numerical and everyday problem-solving situations.

Question 1ExpertLevel 12
What is the greatest number that leaves remainder (16) when dividing (736), (1136), and (1536)?
Correct answer: B
Step 1: Subtract (16) from each number to get (720), (1120), and (1520). Step 2: The HCF of these three numbers is (80), so the greatest number is (80). Step 3: In fixed-remainder questions, subtract the remainder first and then find the HCF.
The HCF of two numbers is (54) and their LCM is (4158). If one number is (378), what is the other number?
Correct answer: C
Step 1: Product of two numbers equals HCF times LCM. Step 2: The other number is (\frac{54\times4158}{378}=594). Step 3: Notice (378=54\times7) and simplify the division first.
A number leaves remainders (63), (81), and (117) when divided by (72), (90), and (126) respectively. What is the smallest such number?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: In each case, divisor minus remainder is (9), so adding (9) to the number makes it exactly divisible by all three divisors. Step 2: The LCM of (72), (90), and (126) is (2520), so the number is (2520-9=2511). Step 3: When each remainder is equally less than the divisor, subtract that common difference from the LCM.
Use prime factorisation to find the highest common factor. We have 24 = 2³ × 3 and 36 = 2² × 3². The common primes are 2 and 3; taking the smaller exponent of each gives HCF = 2² × 3 = 4 × 3 = 12. Although 6 divides both numbers, 12 is the greatest common factor.
