Step-by-step solution for: Using Prime Decomposition to Find HCF and LCM (A) Worksheet ...
Problem Overview:
The task involves using prime decomposition to find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) and Least Common Multiple (LCM) of given numbers. The worksheet is divided into two sections:
1. Section A: Match each number to its product of prime factors.
2. Section B: Use the prime factorizations from Section A to complete Venn diagrams and determine the HCF and LCM for specific pairs of numbers.
---
Step 1: Solve Section A
We need to match each number to its correct prime factorization. Let's break it down:
#### Prime Factorization of Each Number:
1. 28:
- \( 28 = 2 \times 14 = 2 \times 2 \times 7 = 2^2 \times 7 \)
- Matches: \( 2^2 \times 7 \)
2. 42:
- \( 42 = 2 \times 21 = 2 \times 3 \times 7 \)
- Matches: \( 2 \times 3 \times 7 \)
3. 56:
- \( 56 = 2 \times 28 = 2 \times 2 \times 14 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 7 = 2^3 \times 7 \)
- Matches: \( 2^3 \times 7 \)
4. 72:
- \( 72 = 2 \times 36 = 2 \times 2 \times 18 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 9 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 = 2^3 \times 3^2 \)
- Matches: \( 2^3 \times 3^2 \)
5. 80:
- \( 80 = 2 \times 40 = 2 \times 2 \times 20 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 10 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5 = 2^4 \times 5 \)
- Matches: \( 2^4 \times 5 \)
6. 90:
- \( 90 = 2 \times 45 = 2 \times 3 \times 15 = 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5 = 2 \times 3^2 \times 5 \)
- Matches: \( 2 \times 3^2 \times 5 \)
7. 98:
- \( 98 = 2 \times 49 = 2 \times 7 \times 7 = 2 \times 7^2 \)
- Matches: \( 2 \times 7^2 \)
8. 112:
- \( 112 = 2 \times 56 = 2 \times 2 \times 28 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 14 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 7 = 2^4 \times 7 \)
- Matches: \( 2^4 \times 7 \)
9. 120:
- \( 120 = 2 \times 60 = 2 \times 2 \times 30 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 15 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5 = 2^3 \times 3 \times 5 \)
- Matches: \( 2^3 \times 3 \times 5 \)
#### Final Matches:
- \( 28 \): \( 2^2 \times 7 \)
- \( 42 \): \( 2 \times 3 \times 7 \)
- \( 56 \): \( 2^3 \times 7 \)
- \( 72 \): \( 2^3 \times 3^2 \)
- \( 80 \): \( 2^4 \times 5 \)
- \( 90 \): \( 2 \times 3^2 \times 5 \)
- \( 98 \): \( 2 \times 7^2 \)
- \( 112 \): \( 2^4 \times 7 \)
- \( 120 \): \( 2^3 \times 3 \times 5 \)
---
Step 2: Solve Section B
We will use the prime factorizations from Section A to complete the Venn diagrams and find the HCF and LCM for the given pairs.
#### 1) HCF and LCM of 28 and 90
##### Prime Factorizations:
- \( 28 = 2^2 \times 7 \)
- \( 90 = 2 \times 3^2 \times 5 \)
##### Venn Diagram:
- Intersection (Common Factors): \( 2 \)
- Only in 28: \( 2 \times 7 \)
- Only in 90: \( 3^2 \times 5 \)
##### HCF:
The HCF is the product of the common prime factors with the lowest powers.
- Common factor: \( 2 \)
- HCF: \( 2 \)
##### LCM:
The LCM is the product of all prime factors, taking the highest power of each.
- Factors: \( 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5 \times 7 \)
- LCM: \( 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5 \times 7 = 4 \times 9 \times 5 \times 7 = 1260 \)
##### Answers:
- HCF of 28 and 90: \( 2 \)
- LCM of 28 and 90: \( 1260 \)
#### 2) HCF and LCM of 28 and 98
##### Prime Factorizations:
- \( 28 = 2^2 \times 7 \)
- \( 98 = 2 \times 7^2 \)
##### Venn Diagram:
- Intersection (Common Factors): \( 2 \times 7 \)
- Only in 28: \( 2 \)
- Only in 98: \( 7 \)
##### HCF:
The HCF is the product of the common prime factors with the lowest powers.
- Common factors: \( 2 \times 7 \)
- HCF: \( 2 \times 7 = 14 \)
##### LCM:
The LCM is the product of all prime factors, taking the highest power of each.
- Factors: \( 2^2 \times 7^2 \)
- LCM: \( 2^2 \times 7^2 = 4 \times 49 = 196 \)
##### Answers:
- HCF of 28 and 98: \( 14 \)
- LCM of 28 and 98: \( 196 \)
---
Final Answers:
1. HCF of 28 and 90: \( \boxed{2} \)
LCM of 28 and 90: \( \boxed{1260} \)
2. HCF of 28 and 98: \( \boxed{14} \)
LCM of 28 and 98: \( \boxed{196} \)
