Find the least number which when divided by 6, 15 and 18 leave remainder 5 in each case. Ans. Factor of 6 = 2 3 Factor of 15 = 3 5 Factor of 18 = LCM = = 90 Hence, the required number = = 95 Ans. Q.9. Find the smallest four-digit number which is divisible by 18, 24 and 32. Ans. Factor of 18 are Factor of 24 are Factor of 32 are LCM = =

24 The smallest 4 digit number = 1000 On dividing 1000 by 288 we get, 136 as remainder Hence the required number = = 1152 Q10. Find the LCM of the following numbers (a) 9 and 4 (b) 12 and 5 (c) 6 and 5 (d) 15 and 4 Observe a common property in the obtained LCM Is LCM the product of two numbers in each case? Ans. (a) Factors of 4 are 2 2 Factors of 9 are 3 3 LCM of 4 and 9 = = 36 (b) Factors of 12 are Factors of 5 are 1 5 LCM of 12 and 5 = = 60 (c) Factors of 6 and 5 are Factors of 6 are 2 3 Factors of 5 are 1 5 LCM of 6 and 5 = = 30 (d) Factors of 15 are 3 5 Factors of 4 are 2 2 LCM of 15 and 4 = = 60 Yes in each case LCM is the product of two numbers Q11. Find the LCM of the following numbers in which one number is the factor of the other (a) 5, 20 (b) 6, 18 (c) 12, 48 (d) 9, 45 What do you observe in the results obtained? 24

25 Ans. (a) LCM of 5 and 20 Factors of 5 are 5 1 Factors of 20 are 5 4 LCM = 4 5 = 20 (b) Factors of 6 are 2 3 Factors of 18 are LCM = = 18 (c) Factors of 12 are Factors of 48 are LCM = = 16 3 = 48 (d) Factors of 9 are 3 3 Factors of 45 are LCM = 9 5 = 45 We observe that greater number is the LCM in each case. 25

We can express this in decimal notation (in contrast to the underline notation we have been using) as follows: 9081 + 900b + 90c = 9001 + 100c + 10b In this session, we ll learn how to solve problems related to place value. This is one of the fundamental concepts in arithmetic, something every elementary and middle school mathematics teacher should
