Excercise 1.1
Every composite number can be expressed (factorised) as a product of primes, and this
factorization is unique, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur.
Ex: 30 = 2×3×5
LCM and HCF: If a and b are two positive integers. Then the product of a, b is equal to the
product of their LCM and HCF.
LCM×HCF= a × b
To Find LCM and HCF of 12 and 18 by the prime factorization method.
12 = 2×2×3 = 22×31
18 =2×3×3= 2×32
HCF of 12 and 18 = 21×31 =6
(Product of the smallest powers of each common prime factors in the numbers)
LCM of 12 and 18 = 22×32 = 36
(Product of the greatest powers of each prime factors in the numbers)
Product of the numbers = 12×18= 216
LCM×HCF = 36×6= 216
Product of the numbers = LCM×HCF

Rational numbers (Q):
If p/q are whole numbers and q≠0 then the numbers in the form of p/q are called Rational numbers.
