H.C.F and L.C.M:
H.C.F stands for Highest Common Factor. The other names for H.C.F are Greatest Common Divisor (G.C.D) and Greatest Common Measure (G.C.M).
The H.C.F. of two or more numbers is the greatest number that divides each one of them exactly.
The least number which is exactly divisible by each one of the given numbers is called their L.C.M.
Two numbers are said to be co-prime if their H.C.F. is 1.
H.C.F. of fractions = H.C.F. of numerators/L.C.M of denominators
L.C.M. of fractions = G.C.D. of numerators/H.C.F of denominators
Product of two numbers = Product of their H.C.F. and L.C.M.
PERCENTAGE:
1. If A is R% more than B, then B is less than A by R / (100+R) * 100
2. If A is R% less than B, then B is more than A by R / (100-R) * 100
3. If the price of a commodity increases by R%, then reduction in consumption,
not to increase the expenditure is : R/(100+R)*100
4. If the price of a commodity decreases by R%, then the increase in
consumption, not to decrease the expenditure is : R/(100-R)*100
PROFIT & LOSS:

4. Loss % = Loss * 100 / C.P.
5. S.P. = (100+Gain %) /100*C.P.
6. S.P. = (100-Loss %) /100*C.P.

4. If two trains of length x km and y km are moving in the opposite directions at u kmph and v kmph, then time taken by the trains to cross each other = (x+y)/(u+v)hours.
5. If two trains start at the same time from two points A and B towards each other and after crossing they take a and b hours in reaching B and A respectively, then A's speed : B's speed
