Questions Related to common factors and hcf

What is the HCF of $4x^{3} + 3x^{2}y - 9xy^{2} + 2y^{3}$ and $x^{2} + xy - 2y^{2}$?

maths real number real numbers on number line fundamental theorem of arithmetic common factors and hcf

  1. $x - 2y$

  2. $x - y$

  3. $(x + 2y)(x - y)$

  4. $(x - 2y)(x - y)$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let $f(x, y) = 4x^{2} + 3x^{2}y - 9xy^{2} + 2y^{3}$
and $g(x, y) = x^{2} + xy - 2y^{2}$
Clearly $(x - y) = 0$ or $x = y$ satisfy both equation, since for $x = y$ makes both equations zero. 

Hence, $(x - y)$ is the H.C.F. 
Similarly $(x + 2y) = 0$ i.e., $x = -2y$ also makes both equations zero. 
Thus, $(x + 2y)(x - y)$ is the H.C.F.

H.C.F. of $(10224, 1608)$ is _________.

  1. $12$

  2. $24$

  3. $48$

  4. $96$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$10224 = 2^{4}\times3^{2}\times71$

$1608 = 2^{3}\times3\times67$

$\therefore$ H.C.F$(10224,1608) = 2^{3}\times3=24$

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$ Given\quad that\quad product\quad of\quad the\quad number\quad is\quad 5400=30\times 3\times 2\times 30.\ \therefore \quad Possible\quad pairs\quad as\quad per\quad the\quad requirment\quad are-\ (1)\quad 30\times (3\times 2\times 30)=30\times 180\ (2)\quad (30\times 3)\times (2\times 30)=90\times 60\ \therefore \quad Total\quad number\quad of\quad pairs=2\quad \quad (Ans) $

If HCF of numbers $408$ and $1032$ can be expressed in the form of $1032x -408 \times 5$, then find the value of $x$.

maths real number real numbers on number line fundamental theorem of arithmetic common factors and hcf

  1. $0$

  2. $1$

  3. $2$

  4. $3$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
$408=2\times2\times2\times3\times17$

$1032=2\times2\times2\times3\times43$

Hence, $HCF=2\times2\times2\times3=24$

Now, $1032x-408\times5=24\Rightarrow 1032x=2064\Rightarrow x=2$
