Question : The highest common factor of 108, 72, and 5$a$ is $a$. What can be the least common multiple of 108, 72, and $a$?
Option 1: 432
Option 2: 324
Option 3: 108
Option 4: 216
Correct Answer: 216
Solution : The highest common factor (HCF) of 108, 72, and 5$a$ is given as $a$. This means $a$ is a factor of 108, 72, and 5$a$. Since '$a$' is a factor of 108 and 72, then $a$ must be a divisor of the HCF of 108
Question : In finding the HCF of two numbers by division method, the quotients are 1, 8 and 2 respectively, and the last divisor is 105. What is the sum of the numbers?
Option 1: 3570
Option 2: 3885
Option 3: 3780
Option 4: 3675
Correct Answer: 3780
Solution : Last divisor = 105 and quotient = 2 Dividend (c) = 105 × 2 = 210 Now, divisor = 210, quotient = 8 and remainder = 105 So, dividend (a) = 210 × 8 + 105 = 1785 Again, divisor = 1785, quotient = 1
