If p,q are two prime numbers then what is the HCF and LCM of p and q |
|
Answer» HCF will be 1 LCM will be the product of p and q HCF of p and q is 1 and LCM of p and q is pq The “common factor” of p and q is one.Solution: HCF: The full form of HCF is “Highest Common Factor”. The largest common factor of two or more natural numbers is called as “highest common factor”. HCF is also known as “greatest common Divisor (GCD)”.Given that P and q are two prime numbersThe HCF of two p and q prime numbers is one and itself.Here the “common factor” is 1.Therefore, the “common factor” of p and q is one. HCF = 1 and its LCM = pq ok HCF=1 and LCM=pq |
