Understanding L.C.M. and H.C.F. of two or more numbers speeds up problem solving and cuts down on computation time. Numerous mathematical puzzles, such as figuring out the largest tile size or the largest tape to measure the area, can be solved with HCF. Numerous mathematical issues pertaining to racetracks and traffic lights can be resolved with the help of LCM.
