Question
Find the HCF and LCM of:145, 232
✓
Answer
The given numbers are 145 and 232.We have:
$\begin{array}{c|c}5&145\\\hline29&29\\\hline&1\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{c|c}2&232\\\hline2&116\\\hline2&58\\\hline29&29\\\hline&1\end{array}$
Now, we have:
$145=5\times29$
$232=2\times2\times2\times29$
$\therefore$ HCF = 29
Also, LCM $=29\times2\times2\times2\times5=1160$
$\begin{array}{c|c}5&145\\\hline29&29\\\hline&1\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{c|c}2&232\\\hline2&116\\\hline2&58\\\hline29&29\\\hline&1\end{array}$
Now, we have:
$145=5\times29$
$232=2\times2\times2\times29$
$\therefore$ HCF = 29
Also, LCM $=29\times2\times2\times2\times5=1160$
