Find all pair of integers ab with 1 a 25 1 b 25 i for which
Find all pair of integers (a,b) with 1 a 25, 1 b 25
i. for which gcd(a,b) = 2
ii. for which lcm(a,b) = 210
iii. for which both gcd(a,b) = 2 and lcm.(a,b) = 210
iv. What can be said in general about a pair of integers if their gcd is 2?
Thank you
Solution
we are given that
1 a 25, 1 b 25
(i)
We have to find pair of integers
such that gcd(a,b)=2
(a,b)=(2,4) (2,6) (2,8) (2,10) (2,12) (2,14) (2,16) (2,18) (2,20) (2,22) (2,24) (4,6) (4,10) (4,14) (4,18) (4,22) (6,4) (6,8) (6,10) (6,14) (6,20) (6,22) (8,10) (8,14) (8,18) (8,22) (10,12) (10,14) (10,16) (10,18) (10,22) (12,14) (12,22) (14,16) (14, 18) (14,20) (14,22) (14, 24) (16,18) (16,22) (18,20) (18,22) (20,22) (22,24)
(ii)
We have to find for lcm(a,b)=210
210=2*3*5*7
possible integers as (10, 21) (14, 15)
(iii)
Possible integer for lcm(a,b)= (10, 21) (14, 15)
and we can see that gcd(a,b)=2
none of them are common
so, no pair of such integers are possible
(iv)
if gcd=2
It means that common factor between a and b will be \'2\'
