The greatest number of students to whom 24 pens and 32 pencils can be equally  divided is 8.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have to find the greatest number of students to whom 24 pens and 32 pencils can be equally divided. Let's calculate ratio of pens to pencils and then we will simplify , or we can find find HCF( Highest common factor) of pen & pencils and HCF will be the maximum number of students whom equally pens & pencils will be distributed. Ratio:

⇒ \frac{pens}{pencils} = \frac{24}{32}

⇒ \frac{pens}{pencils} = \frac{3(8)}{4(8)}

⇒ \frac{pens}{pencils} = \frac{3}{4}

So , 3pens + 4 pencils = Pens+ Pencils

⇒  3pens + 4 pencils = Pens+ Pencils

⇒   3x + 4x = 24+ 32

⇒  7x = 56

⇒ x = 8

Therefore, the greatest number of students to whom 24 pens and 32 pencils can be equally  divided is 8.

If a is an odd number, b is not divisible by 3 and LCM of a and b is P, what is the LCM of 3a and 2b?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The LCM of 3a and 2b = 6P

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM of  3 a  and  2 b  will be  6 p

Since  a  is odd, which means it's not divisible by 2. Therefore a can be number 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, .......

b  is not divisible by  3, which means b can be number 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, .....

LCM of a and b is P

Factors of 2b can be 2 multiplied by (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, ..... )  

Factors of 3a can be 3 multiplied by (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, .......)

So, to get the LCM of 3a and 2b, since we already show the factors of a and b, Then, 3 X 2 X P (remember P is the LCM of a and b)

The LCM of 3a and 2b = 6P
