What is the relationship between HCF and LCM of two numbers a and b?
Correct Answer: HCF * LCM = a * b
- Step 1: Understand what HCF (Highest Common Factor) means. It is the largest number that divides both a and b without leaving a remainder.
- Step 2: Understand what LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) means. It is the smallest number that both a and b can divide into without leaving a remainder.
- Step 3: Know that for any two integers a and b, there is a special relationship between HCF and LCM.
- Step 4: The relationship is expressed as: HCF * LCM = a * b.
- Step 5: This means if you multiply the HCF of a and b by the LCM of a and b, you will get the product of a and b.
