(iv) The LCM of 26, 39 and 52 is ……..
(v) The least number that should be added to 57 so that the sum is exactly divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 5 is ………
Solution:
(i) 15
(ii) 2
(iii) 3
(iv) 156
(v) 3

The Least common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 20 is 60.

Question 2.
Say True or False
(i) The numbers 57 and 69 are co-primes.
(ii) The HCF of 17 and 18 is 1.
(iii) The LCM of two successive numbers is the product of the numbers.

(v) The HCF of two numbers is always a factor of their LCM.
Solution:
(i) False
(ii) True
(iii) True
(iv) False
(v) True

So, now the prime factorization of 84 with the upside-down division method is 2 × 2 × 3 × 7.

Question 3.
Find the HCF of each set of numbers using the prime factorisation method.
(i) 18, 24

HCF = 2 × 3 = 6

(ii) 51, 85

HCF = 17

(iii) 61, 76
61 = 1 × 61
For 61, 76, the common factor is 1
HCF = 1

(iv) 84, 120

HCF = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

(v) 27, 45, 81

HCF = 3 × 3 = 9

(vi) 45, 55, 95

Factors of 55 = 5 × 11
Factors of 45 = 3 × 3 × 5
Factors of 95 = 5 × 19
HCF = 5

Factors of 9 = 3 × 3
LCM of 6 and 9 = 3 × 2 × 3 = 18

(ii) 8, 12

(iii) 10, 15

Factors of 10 = 2 × 5
Factors of 15 = 3 × 5
LCM of 10 and 15 = 5 × 2 × 3 = 30

(iv) 14, 42

Factors of 14 = 2 × 7
Factors of 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
LCM of 14 and 42 = 7 × 2 × 3 = 42

(v) 30, 40, 60

Factors of 30 = 2 × 3 × 5
Factors of 40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
Factors of 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
LCM of 30, 40, 60 = 2 × 5 × 3 × 2 × 2 = 120

(vi) 15, 25, 75

Factors of 15 = 3 × 5
Factors of 25 =5 × 5
Factors of 75 = 3 × 5 × 5
LCM of 15, 25, 75 = 5 × 3 × 5 = 75

Question 5.

Solution:
HCF

Factors of 154 = 2 × 7 × 11
Factors of 198 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 11
Factors of 286 = 2 × 13 × 11
HCF of 154, 198, 286 = 11 × 2 = 22
LCM

LCM = 2 × 11 × 7 × 9 × 13
= 22 × 63 × 13
= 18018

Question 6.
What is the greatest possible volume of a vessel that can be used to measure exactly the volume of milk in cans (in full capacity) of 80 litres, 100 litres and 120 litres?
Solution:
This is an HCF related problem. So, we need to find the HCF of 80, 100, 120

80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
100 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 5
120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
HCF of 80, 100 and 120 = 2 × 2 × 5 = 20
Volume of the vessel = 20 litres

Question 7.
The traffic lights at three different road junctions change after every 40 seconds, 60 seconds, and 72 seconds respectively. If they changed simultaneously together at 8 a.m at the junctions, at what time will they simultaneously change together again?
Solution:
This is an LCM related problem. So, we need to find the LCM of 40, 60, 72

LCM of 40, 60 and 72
= 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 2 × 1 × 1 × 3
= 360 seconds
= 6 minutes
The traffic lights will change simultane¬ously again at 8 : 06 am.

Question 8.
The LCM of two numbers is 210 and their HCF is 14. How many such pairs are possible.
Solution:
Product of two numbers = LCM × HCF
x × y = 210 × 14
x × y = 2940
(12, 245), (20, 147)
Two pairs are possible.

Question 9.
The LCM of two numbers is 6 times their HCF. If the HCF is 12 and one of the numbers is 36, then find the other number.
Solution:
36x = 6 × 12 × 12
⇒ \(x=\frac{6 \times 12 \times 12}{36}=24\)

(i) Provisions and
(ii) Vegetables?
Solution:
Allotted amount = Rs 4000
Ratio = 3 : 2
Sum of the ratio = 3 + 2 = 5
5 parts = Rs 4000
1 part = Rs \(\frac{4000}{5}\) = Rs 800
Provisions : Vegetables = 3 : 2
3 parts = 3 × Rs 800 = Rs 2400
2 parts = 2 × Rs 800 = Rs 1600
Amount spent for provisions = Rs 2400
Amount spent for vegetables = Rs 1600

Solution:
Total length = 63 cm Ratio = 3 : 4
Sum of the ratio = 3 + 4 = 7
7 parts = 63 cm
1 part = \(\frac{63}{7}\) = 9 cm
3 parts = 3 × 9 cm = 27 cm
4 parts = 4 × 9 cm = 36 cm
∴ 63 cm can be divided into the parts as 27 cm and 36 cm.

Connecting to Self

Read the following and have a discussion on which of these are fair and ethical to laugh at and which are not. Why?

Accidental or embarrassing situations:
It is not fair and ethical to laugh at them. Because they involve physical and mention aspects of a person. They may be beyond his control at the moment.

Weird behaviour of animals and kids:
We can laugh at them. Because we don’t harm them physically or mentally.

Culture and religion:
It is not fair and ethical to laugh at other’s cultural values and religious beliefs. We must respect them. We must appreciate diversity for unity.

Funny pantomimes and stand up comedies:
We can laugh at them. They create fun. We don’t hurt them mentally by simply laughing.

Physical appearance:
It is not fair and ethical to laugh at the strange or abnormal physical appearance of a person. We must empathize and not laugh. We harm mentally by laughing at physical appearance.

Language and dialect:
It is not fair to laugh at the way a language or dialect is spoken. It is an identity. There is nothing to laugh at.

Humorous movies:
We can laugh watching humourous movies. There are funny dialogues or situations that create laughter. This kind of laughter is harmless.
