In prime factorization, 340 = 2² × 5 × 17 and 544 = 2⁵ × 17. The HCF is the product of the smallest power of common primes: 2² × 17 = 68. The LCM is the product of the highest power of all primes: 2⁵ × 5 × 17 = 2720 .

Every natural number (1, 2, 3, ...) is inherently a whole number, which includes all natural numbers and zero. In contrast, whole numbers include zero, which is not considered a natural number .

Express 0.6 as a fraction: 0.6 = 6/10. Simplifying gives 3/5, which are coprime numbers as they have no common factors other than 1. The prime factors show 3 and 5 are distinct .

A deck has 26 red cards and 4 kings. Probability for a red card is 26/52 = 1/2. Probability for a king is 4/52 = 1/13. But, red kings are included in both counts. Thus, add probabilities: 1/2 + 1/13 - 2/52 = 7/13 accounting for overlap .

The statement is true because real numbers include both rational numbers (which can be expressed as fractions) and irrational numbers (which cannot be expressed as exact fractions, such as √2 or π). Therefore, real numbers encompass both these types, with irrational numbers providing a clear example that not every real number is rational .

The given expression is a difference of cubes, a³ – b³. Factorize using (a – b)(a² + ab + b²): here, a = 3a and b = 2b, so (3a – 2b)(9a² + 6ab + 4b²).

Substitute x = 1 into the equation, which gives (1)² + k(1) - 6 = 0. This simplifies to 1 + k - 6 = 0, leading to k = 5 .

These sides form a right triangle (8² + 15² = 17²). Use the formula for the area of a right triangle: (1/2 × base × height), resulting in 1/2 × 8 × 15 = 60 cm² .

Set (3x – 5) + (x + 15) = 90; solving, 4x + 10 = 90. Subtract 10 from both sides: 4x = 80, so x = 20° .

In a quadrilateral ABCD with ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 90°, sum of interior angles must equal 360°. If three angles are exactly 90°, the fourth must also be 90°, confirming it is a rectangle since a rectangle's defining property is having four right angles .
