    We find LCM of = 10, 16, 24

    ∴ LCM = 22 × 22 × 3 × 5
    ∴ Required number = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5

    Correct Option: D

    We find LCM of = 10, 16, 24

    ∴ LCM = 22 × 22 × 3 × 5
    ∴ Required number = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5
    Required number = 3600


  1. The least number, which when divided by 12, 15, 20 or 54 leaves a remainder of 4 in each case, is :

    Here , Remainder ( r ) = 4
    As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
    So , LCM of 15, 12, 20, 54 ( k ) = 540

    Correct Option: D

    Here , Remainder ( r ) = 4
    As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
    So , LCM of 15, 12, 20, 54 ( k ) = 540
    Hence , Then number = k + r = 540 + 4 = 544



  1. The least number which when divided by 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 leaves a remainder of 2 in each case is :

    Here , Remainder ( r ) = 2
    As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
    So , L.C.M. of 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 = k = 48

    Correct Option: C

    Here , Remainder ( r ) = 2
    As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
    So , L.C.M. of 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 = k = 48
    ∴ Required number = k + r = 48 + 2 = 50


  1. The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 44 and 264 respectively. If the first number is divided by 2, the quotient is 44. The other number is

    Given , The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 44 and 264 .
    According to question ,
    First number = 2 × 44 = 88
    As we know that ,
    ∴ First number × Second number = H.C.F. × L.C.M.
    ⇒ 88 × Second number = 44 × 264

    Correct Option: C

    Given , The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 44 and 264 .
    According to question ,
    First number = 2 × 44 = 88
    As we know that ,
    ∴ First number × Second number = H.C.F. × L.C.M.
    ⇒ 88 × Second number = 44 × 264

    ⇒ Second number =
    44 × 264
    = 132
    88



  1. Find the greatest number of five digits which when divided by 3, 5, 8, 12 have 2 as remainder :

    Here , Remainder ( r ) = 2
    As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
    The greatest number of five digits is 99999.
    LCM of 3, 5, 8 and 12

    ∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 2 = 120
    After dividing 99999 by 120, we get 39 as remainder
    99999 – 39 = 99960 = ( 833 × 120 )

    Correct Option: D

    Here , Remainder ( r ) = 2
    As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
    The greatest number of five digits is 99999.
    LCM of 3, 5, 8 and 12

    ∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 2 = 120
    After dividing 99999 by 120, we get 39 as remainder
    99999 – 39 = 99960 = ( 833 × 120 )
    99960 is the greatest five digit number divisible by the given divisors.
    In order to get 2 as remainder in each case we will simply add 2 to 99960.
    ∴ Greatest number = 99960 + 2 = 99962
