Can the HCF of two numbers be a factor of their LCM?
The HCF is always a factor of the LCM of two numbers. The HCF is a factor of both the numbers which are factors of their LCM. Thus the HCF is also a factor of the LCM of the two numbers.
Does the HCF of any two no is always a factor of their LCM?
If two numbers are expressed as ab and cb this is easier to work out. Assume that a and c have no common prime factors. Thus, the HCF of the two numbers will be b. The LCM is the two numbers multiplied by each other, divided by the HCF. So the LCM will be abc. b is a factor of abc, and so the HCF will always be a factor of their LCM.

Is the HCF of two numbers ever 1?
The HCF is the largest number that both numbers can be divided by. If the HCF is 1, that would suggest that the two numbers share no prime factors. Thus, any two numbers which are coprime will have an HCF of 1. Consecutive numbers are good examples here - 15 and 16, 27 and 28, 104 and 105, all have an HCF of 1.
What is the hcf of 375?
You need at least two numbers to find an HCF.
What is the HCF of 119753204389?
Two or more numbers are needed to find the HCF
What is the hcf for 24?
You need at least two numbers to find an HCF.
What is the Hcf of 120 400?
The HCF of the given two numbers is 40
What is the HCF for 98168 and 182?
The HCF of the given two numbers is 14
What numbers have an HCF of 1?
An HCF is the product of any common prime factors of two numbers. If two numbers have no common prime factors, then the HCF will be 1. For example, 10 and 21. The prime factors are 2x5 and 3x7. There is nothing in common, and so the HCF of 10 and 21 is 1. Two consecutive numbers will always have the HCF of 1.
Hcf of 8498168?
Two or more numbers are needed in order to find the HCF
Can you find the HCF of 3 numbers using euclids division lemma?
Yes.First find the HCF of two of the numbers, then find the HCF of that answer and the third number.In this way you could find the HCF of as many numbers as you want.
