Question:

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 (ii) 510 and 92 (iii) 336 and 54

Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: Use prime factorisation to obtain the Highest Common Factor (HCF) as the product of common prime factors with the smallest exponents, and the Least Common Multiple (LCM) as the product of all prime factors taken with the highest exponents. Then verify the relation \(\text{LCM}\times\text{HCF}=\text{product of the two numbers}\).
Given two positive integers, we have to find their HCF and LCM and then check the identity \(\text{LCM}\times\text{HCF}=ab\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are the numbers.

(i) 26 and 91
Step 1: Prime factorise each number.
\[26 = 2\times13\]
\[91 = 7\times13\]
Step 2: Identify common prime factors with the smallest powers. The only common factor is \(13\). Hence, \(\text{HCF}=13\).
Step 3: For LCM, take the highest power of each prime appearing in either factorisation.
\[\text{LCM}=2\times7\times13=182\]
Step 4: Verify the relation.
\[\text{LCM}\times\text{HCF}=182\times13=2366\]
\[26\times91=2366\]
Thus, the relation holds.

(ii) 510 and 92
Step 1: Prime factorisation.
\[510 = 2\times3\times5\times17\]
\[92 = 2^{2}\times23\]
Step 2: Common prime factor with smallest exponent is \(2\). Hence, \(\text{HCF}=2\).
Step 3: LCM uses the highest powers of all primes: \(2^{2},3,5,17,23\).
\[\text{LCM}=2^{2}\times3\times5\times17\times23=4\times3\times5\times17\times23=23460\]
Step 4: Verification.
\[\text{LCM}\times\text{HCF}=23460\times2=46920\]
\[510\times92=46920\]
The identity is satisfied.

(iii) 336 and 54
Step 1: Prime factorisation.
\[336 = 2^{4}\times3\times7\]
\[54 = 2\times3^{3}\]
Step 2: Common primes with smallest exponents are \(2^{1}\) and \(3^{1}\). Hence, \(\text{HCF}=2\times3=6\).
Step 3: LCM takes the highest powers: \(2^{4},3^{3},7\).
\[\text{LCM}=2^{4}\times3^{3}\times7=16\times27\times7=3024\]
Step 4: Verification.
\[\text{LCM}\times\text{HCF}=3024\times6=18144\]
\[336\times54=18144\]
Thus, the required relation holds for all three pairs.

Correct Answer: (i) HCF = 13, LCM = 182, and 182 × 13 = 26 × 91 = 2366.\n (ii) HCF = 2, LCM = 23460, and 23460 × 2 = 510 × 92 = 46920.\n (iii) HCF = 6, LCM = 3024, and 3024 × 6 = 336 × 54 = 18144.
