(b) Vinay is buying nuts and bolts at a hardware store. The store
sells nuts in packs of 20 and bolts in packs of 5. If Vinay wishes to
buy the same number of nuts and bolts, what is the smallest number
of nuts he can buy?
Answers and Explanations
Answer (1)
The least number which is exactly divisible by each of the given
number is called the least common multiple of those numbers.
For example: consider the numbers 3, 31 and ✆✄ ✒✄ ✌ ✝✞✁.
p
The LCM of these numbers would be ✄ ✌ ✝ ✌ ✝✞ ✌ ✞✠✆
re
The largest number that divides two or more numbers is the
highest common factor for those numbers.
For example: consider the numbers ✝☛ ✒✄ ✌ ✝ ✌ ✡✁☞ ✝✆ ✒✄ ✌ ✄ ✌
iP
✝ ✌ ✝✁☞ ✂✄ ✒✄ ✌ ✝ ✌ ✟✁
3 is the largest number that divides each of these numbers, and
ex
hence HCF is 3.

Answer (2)
The least number which is exactly divisible by each of the given
number is called the least common multiple of those numbers.
The largest number that divides two or more numbers is the
highest common factor for those numbers.
Now, we can find prime factorization of both 144 and 180:
