Ravi said, “HCF (a, b, c) · LCM (a, b, c) = a × b × c”. Do you agree ? Justify.​

No, it is only true for two numbers.

Answer Keys.

First things first, we have to write numbers as a product.

Let's define the THREE numbers rigorously. ASSUME they have HCF of k.

Three numbers are \mathrm{a=kx, b=ky, c=kz}, where \mathrm{HCF(x,y,z)=1}.

Then,

  • \mathrm{HCF(a,b,c)=k}
  • \mathrm{<klux>LCM</klux>(a,b,c)=kxyz}
  • \mathrm{abc=k^3xyz}

\therefore \boxed{\mathrm{HCF(a,b,c)\cdot LCM(a,b,c)=\dfrac{abc}{k} }}

The EQUATION that Ravi said doesn't hold for k≠1. So, the equation that Ravi told is not true.

More information.

The product of HCF and LCM of two numbers is the product of two numbers.
