Hcf and lcm: Properties of HCF and

Properties of HCF and LCM : For a better understanding of the concepts of LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) and HCF (Highest Common Factor), we need to recollect the terms multiples and factors. Let’s learn about LCM , HCF and the relation between HCF and LCM of natural numbers. The relationship between HCF (Highest Common Factor) and LCM (Least Common Multiple) plays a crucial role in various mathematical applications. those relation between HCF and LCM is stated below: In case of two numbers the product of two numbers is equal to product of their LCM and HCF , i.e. HCF refers to the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two or more given numbers and it is the largest number that divides each of the given numbers without leaving any remainder. The Least Common Multiple ( LCM ) of two or more numbers is the smallest of the common multiples of those numbers. Relation between HCF and LCM HCF and LCM are the two terms that stand for highest common factor and least common multiple respectively. The HCF is the greatest factor of two numbers or more than two numbers which divides the number exactly with no remainder, while on the contrary the LCM of two numbers or more than two numbers is the smallest number which is divisible by given numbers exactly. After discussing the definition of HCF and LCM , in this article, we will focus on the relation ...
