Summary
In this chapter, we have studied the following points:
The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic :
1. Every composite number can be expressed(factorised) as a product of
2. If p is a prime and p divides
We have learnt to prove that
NOTE FOR THE READER
You have seen that : HCF(p,q,r) × LCM(p,q,r) ≠ p × q × r, where p, q, r are positive integers (see Example 8). However, the following results hold good for three numbers p, q and r :
LCM (p, q, r) =
HCF (p, q, r) =
