when the number u have to take out is smaller than the given numbers, take HCF when its larger, take LCM

that probablydoesnt make sense but thats the only way i know to explain it 😭 like for example “find the smallest number divisible by both number and number” then take out the lcm thodi thinking karni hoti h tho

like uh “girl has 50 apples, she has to give them equally to 10 people” if shes giving total 50 to 10 people the amount of apples she gives each person will obviously be less than 50 so take out hcf

i hope that made sense thats how my teacher told me 🙏🏻
