Real numbers – Exercise 3.2 – Solutions:
1) Express each number as a product of prime factors.
i)120
ii)3825
iii)6762
iv)32844
Solution:
(i)
120 = 23 x 3 x 5
(ii)
3825 = 32 x 52 x 17
(iii)
6762 = 22 x 32 x 72
(iv)
32844 = 22 x 3 x 7 x 17 x 23
2) If 25025 = p1x1, p2x2, p3x3,p4x4 find the value of p1, p2, p3, p4 and x1, x2, x3, x4
Solution:
25025 = 52 x 71 x 111 x 131
Given, 25025 = p1x1, p2x2, p3x3,p4x4
Therefore, p1x1= 5 , p2x2= 71 , p3x3= 111 ,p4x4 = 131 and x1 = 2, x2 = 1, x3 = 1, x4 = 1.
3.Find LCM and HCF of the following integers by expressing them as product of primes.
(i) 12, 15 and 30
(ii) 18, 81 and 108
Solution:
(i) 12, 15 and 30
12 = 4 x 3 = 22 x 3
15 = 5 x 3
30 = 3 x 2 x 5
Therefore, LCM = 60 and HCF = 3
(ii) 18, 81 and 108
18 = 3 x 3 x 2 = 32 x 2
81 = 9 x 9 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 34
108 = 3 x 2 x 3 x 2 x 3 = 22 x 33
Therefore, LCM = 9 and HCF = 34 x 22 = 324
4) Find the HCF and LCM of the pairs of integers and verify that LCM(a, b) x HCF(a, b) = a x b
(i) 16 and 80
(ii)125 and 55
Solution:
(i) 16 and 80
a = 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 24
b = 80 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 15 = 24 x 5
LCM (16, 80) = 80
HCF (16, 80) = 16
LCM (16, 80) x HCF (16, 80) = a x b
80 x 16 = 16 x 80
1280 = 1280
(ii)125 and 55
a = 125 = 53
b = 55 = 5 x 11
LCM(125, 55) = 5 x 5 x 5 x 11 = 1375
HCF (125, 55) = 5
LCM(125, 55) x HCF (125, 55) = a x b
1375 x 5 = 125 x55
6875 = 6875
- If HCF of 52 and 182 is 26, find their LCM.
Solution:
We know, HCF x LCM = a x b
We have, a = 52 and b = 182
26 x LCM = 52 x 182
26 x LCM = 9464
LCM = 9464/26 = 364
- Find the HCF of 105 and 1515 by prime factorization method and hence find its LCM
Solution:
105 = 5 x 3 x 7
1515 = 5 x 3 x 101
HCF (105, 1515) = 3 x 5 = 15
HCF x LCM = a x b
15 x LCM = 105 x 1515
LCM = 10605
- Find the smallest number which when increased by 17 is exactly divisible by both 520 and 468
Solution:
520 = 52 X 10
468 = 52 X 9
LCM = 52 X 10
LCM = 52 x 10 x 9 = 4680
The smallest number which when increased by 17 which is exactly divisible by 520 & 468 is 4680 – 17 = 4663.
- A rectangular hall is 18m 72cm long & 13m 20cm broad. It is to be paved with square tiles of the same size. Find the least possible number of such tiles.
Solution:
Area of rectangle = l x b = 1872 X 1320 = 24 X 32 X 13 X 23 X 3 X 5 X 11
HCF = 23 X 3 = 24
The greatest possible length of square tiles = 24
The least possible lengths of such tiles = 78 X 55 = 4290
