Find out Greatest Common Divisor(GCD)

GCD or GCM:
     Highest Common Factor also called as Greatest Common Measure(GCM) or Greatest Common Divisor(GCD). GCD of two or more numbers is the greatest number that can exactly divide each one of the number.

Example:
       Say we have 2 numbers 4,8.       The numbers that can divide 4 and 8 are 2,4.       Here 4 is the highest number that can exactly divide both 4 and 8 , so 4 is the HCF of 4,8.

GCD can be calculated by any of the following methods,

Factorization Method:
Express each one of the numbers as product of prime factors.
The product of least powers of common prime factors gives GCD.


Example:
Greatest Common Measure of 36, 90, 72.

Step1: Express the numbers as product of prime factors.
        36 = 22 × 32        90 = 2 × 5 × 32        72 = 23 × 32

Step2: Take the prime numbers with least power and is present in all sets.
2 and 3 are the prime number common to all given numbers.
       The least power of 2 in the set is - 2       The least power of 3 in the set is - 32

Step3: Product of the numbers taken.
       32 × 2 = 9 × 2 = 18       So 18 is the GCD(Greatest Common Divisor) of the numbers.

Division Method:
Two find the GCD of two given numbers, divide the largest by the small number, then divide the dividend by the remainder. Repeat this until remainder is 0. The last dividend is the HCF of the two numbers.

Example: GCD of 27 & 36
       Step1: Divide 36/27 -> remainder = 9       Step2: Divide dividend by remainder              27/9 -> remainder = 0       So the GCD(greatest common Divisor) of 27 and 36 is 9


For 3 numbers, calculate the GCD or greatest common measure(GCM) of 2 numbers, then GCD of the result with 3rd number.


Find out Least Common Multiple


LCM:
     LCM of two or more numbers is the least number that is exactly divisible by each one of the given numbers.

Least Commmon Factor(LCF) can be calculated by any of the following method,

Factorization Method:
Express each one of the numbers as product of prime factors.
The product of highest powers of all prime factors gives LCF.


Example:
Least Common Multiple or Factor of 36, 90, 72.

Step1: Express the numbers as product of prime factors.
       36 = 22 × 32       90 = 2 × 5 × 32       72 = 23 × 32

Step2: Take the prime numbers with highest power for all prime numbers.
2, 3,5 are the prime number identified.
       The highest power of 2 in the set is - 23       The highest power of 3 in the set is - 32       The highest power of 5 in the set is - 5

Step3: Product of the numbers taken.
       32 × 5 × 23 = 9 × 5 × 8 = 360       So 360 is the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of the numbers.

Age calculation
1.multiply the 1st digit of your age by 5. (example:age 25,so 2*5=10)
2.add 3 with the result. (10+3=13)
3.double the answer. (13*2=26)
4.add the second digit of your age with the result. (26+5=31)
5.subtract 6 from it. (31-6=25)
this result is your age....


Math magic:2
1.think of 2 single digit number.  (example: 5,3)
2.take any one of the number among them and double it. (3*2=6)
3.Add 5 with the result. (6+5=11)
4.multiply the result with 5. (11*5=55)
5.add the second number to the answer. (55+5=60)
6.subtract the answer with 4. 
 (60-4=56)
7.subtract the answer again with 21. 
 ( 56-21=35)
8.the answer would be the 2 single digit number.
now make fun with your friends...:D



Math magic:1
1.Think of a number below 10 example:(5)
2.double the number 
 (5*2=10)
3.add 6 with the getting result 
 (10+6=16)
4.half the number 
  (16/2=8)
5.take away the number you thought from the answer. (8-5=3)
6.answer is 3.
for all numbers below 10,the result would be 3.now you can show mathematics magic.
