### What is HCF (Highest Common Factors)-म०स०प०

HCF is that integers numbers which divide the number.The highest common factor of two or more given numbers is the largest of their common factors.It is also known as GCD (Greatest Common Divisor).

### What is LCM(Lowest Common Multiple)-ल०स०प०

Following are the HCF & LCM questions and HCF & LCM shortcut tricks that will help you to pass IBPS clerk  and IBPS PO,thus getting a good IBPS result.

### Formula for HCF & LCM

1.  Product of two numbers = HCF *  LCM.
2.  HCF of given numbers always divides LCM.
3.  HCF = $\frac { product\quad of\quad two\quad numbers }{ LCM }$
4.  LCM = $\frac { product\quad of\quad two\quad numbers }{ HCF }$
5. If d is the h.c.f. of two positive integer a and b, then there exist unique integer m and n, such that d=am+bn.
6. Largest number which divides x,y,z to leave same remainder = HCF of y-x, z-y, z-x.
7. Largest number which divides x,y,z to leave remainder R (i.e. same) = HCF of x-R, y-R, z-R.
8. Largest number which divides x,y,z to leave same remainder a,b,c  = HCF of x-a, y-b, z-c.
9. Least number which when divided by x,y,z and leaves a remainder R in each case = ( LCM of x,y,z) + R.
