Method-3: Listing out the multiples
Relation between HCF and LCM:
The product of LCM and HCF of the given natural numbers is equivalent to
the product of the given numbers.
i.e LCM × HCF of a number = Product of the Numbers
Consider two numbers A and B, then
Therefore, LCM (A , B) × HCF (A , B) = A × B
Ex- Show that the LCM (6, 15) × HCF (6, 15) = Product(6, 15)
Solution: LCM and HCF of 6 and 15
LCM of 6 and 15 = 30
HCF of 6 and 15 = 3
So, LCM (6, 15) × HCF (6, 15) = 30 × 3 = 90
Product of 6 and 15 = 6 × 15 = 90
Hence, LCM (6, 15) × HCF (6, 15) = Product (6, 15) = 90
