Prime factorization, LCM, HCF

Class 10 NCERT Exercise 1.2 Solution
  1. Concept: Prime Factorisation

    Express each number as a product of its prime factors:

    1. 140
    2. 156
    3. 3825
    4. 5005
    5. 7429
  2. Concept: LCM & HCF by Prime Factorization

    Find the LCM and HCF of the following pairs of integers and verify that LCM x HCF = product of the two numbers.

    1. 26 and 91
    2. 510 and 92
    3. 336 and 54
  3. Concept: LCM & HCF of 3 numbers by Prime Factorization

    Find the LCM and HCF of the following integers by applying the prime factorisation method.

    1. 12, 15 and 21
    2. 17, 23 and 29
    3. 8, 9 and 25
  4. Concept: Product of 2 numbers = Product of LCM and HCF

    Given that HCF (306, 657) = 9, find LCM (306, 657)

  5. Concept: Prime factorization

    Check whether 6n can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.

  6. Concept: Properties of Prime & Composite Numbers

    Explain why 7 x 11 x 13 + 13 and 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 + 5 are composite numbers.

  7. Concept: Word problem in LCM & HCF

    There is a circular path around a sports field. Sonia takes 18 minutes to drive one round of the field, while Ravi take 12 minutes for the same. Suppose they both start at the same point and at the same time, and go in the same direction. After how many minutes will they meet again at the starting point?
