Every year more then 2 to 3 questions form LCM and HCF are asked in SSC CGL, MTS, and CHSL Examination. LCM, and HCF Question are also Asked in UPSC NDA Examination and other Civil service Examination. If you cover this portion perfectly then you can easily correct 2- 3 Questions in these type of competitive Examination. IBPS also asked questions from LCM and HCF in bank PO, Clerk, Specialist officer and other Examination. Railway Recruitment Board also asked questions from Lowest Common Factor and Highest Common Factor.
What is HCF : The Highest Common Factor (H.C.F) of two (or more) numbers is the largest number that divides evenly into both numbers. In other words the H.C.F is the largest of all the common factors. The common factors or of 12 and 18 are 1, 2, 3 and 6. The largest common factor is 6, so this is the H.C.F. of 12 and 18. this is also known as mahttam samapvartak in Hindi Math.
What is LCM : A common multiple is a number that is a multiple of two or more numbers. The common multiples of 3 and 4 are 0, 12, 24, .... The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number (not zero) that is a multiple of both. This is also known as Laghuttam Samapvartak.
