Procedure - Determination of the Highest Common Factor and the Least Common Multiple of two integers
In this question we must determine the highest common factor and the least common multiple of two integers.
The highest common factor consists in the maximum product of common prime numbers, of the two numbers that divides it, and the least common multiple consists in the product of prime numbers, common and not, of the two numbers, that creates a product that it is greater or equal to the greater integer.
Now, we proceed to determine the numbers for each case:
a) 12 and 48
First, we factorize each integer:
[tex]12 = 2^{2}\times 3[/tex], [tex]48 = 2^{4}\times 3[/tex]
Then the highest common factor and the least common multiple are, respectively:
[tex]LCM = 2^{4}\times 3 = 48[/tex], [tex]HCF = 2^{2}\times 3 = 12[/tex]
The highest common factor and the least common multiple are 12 and 48, respectively. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]
b) 24 and 36
First, we factorize each integer:
[tex]24 = 2^{3}\times 3[/tex], [tex]36 = 2^{2}\times 3^{2}[/tex]
Then, the highest common factor and the least common multiple are, respectively:
[tex]LCM = 2^{3}\times 3^{2} = 72[/tex], [tex]HCF = 2^{2}\times 3 = 12[/tex]
The highest common factor and the least common multiple are 12 and 72, respectively. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]
c) 32 and 40
First, we factorize each integer:
[tex]32 = 2^{5}[/tex], [tex]40 = 2^{3}\times 5[/tex]
Then, the highest common factor and the least common multiple are, respectively:
[tex]LCM = 2^{5}\times 5 = 160[/tex], [tex]HCF = 2^{3} = 8[/tex]
The highest common factor and the least common multiple are 8 and 160, respectively. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]
d) 24, 48 and 60
First, we factorize each integer:
[tex]24 = 2^{3}\times 3[/tex], [tex]48 = 2^{4}\times 3[/tex], [tex]60 = 2^{2}\times 3 \times 5[/tex]
Then, the highest common factor and the least common multiple are, respectively:
[tex]LCM = 2^{4}\times 3 \times 5 = 48[/tex], [tex]HCF = 2^{2}\times 3 = 12[/tex]
The highest common factor and the least common multiple are 12 and 48, respectively. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]
e) 42, 56 and 70
First, we factorize each integer:
[tex]42 = 2\times 3 \times 7[/tex], [tex]56 = 2^{3}\times 7[/tex], [tex]70 = 2\times 5\times 7[/tex]
Then, the highest common factor and the least common multiple are, respectively:
[tex]LCM = 2^{3} \times 3 \times 5 \times 7 = 840[/tex], [tex]HCF = 2\times 7 = 14[/tex]
The highest common factor and the least common multiple are 14 and 840, respectively. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]
