LCM and HCF Questions for Competitive Exams
LCM and HCF are considered to be an important topic of mathematics on the basis of calculation. The minimum number of LCMs that are absolutely divisible from each given number is called the least common multiple (LCM). On the other hand, HCF is the greatest common factor for those numbers, the largest number dividing two or more numbers. Also in competitive exams, questions related to LCM and HCF are often asked under the Aptitude section. These questions are very easy and once they are well-understood students can solve them in a short time.
So, here today in this article, we are making you aware of all those important questions, which will be helpful for successful results in your competitive examinations. In this post, we have given information about the questions related to the least common multiple (LCM) and the maximum common factor (HCF).
