FACE VALUE: It is the digit itself.
PLACE VALUE: It is the place in which the digit lies.
LONG FORM OR EXPANDED FORM
In this method, we split the given number by writing the face value of the digit followed by so many number of zeros based on the place value and expand it as shown below.
Ones place or units place - Face value of the digit (the digit itself)
Tens place - Face value of the digit followed by one zero
Hundreds place - Face value of the digit followed by two zeros
Thousands place - Face value of the digit followed by three zeros
Ten Thousands place - Face value of the digit followed by four zeros
Lakh place - Face value of the digit followed by five zeros
Ten lakh place - Face value of the digit followed by six zeros
Crore place - Face value of the digit followed by seven zeros
Ten crores place - Face value of the digit followed by eight zeros
Let us see some examples:
237895 = 200000 + 30000 + 7000 + 800 + 90 + 5
14506534 = 10000000 + 4000000 + 500000 + 6000 + 500 + 30 + 4

SHORT FORM
In this method, we write the numbers one below the other in the decreasing order of their place value and then add them to get a single number as shown below.

FACTORS AND MULTIPLES:
Factor is a number that exactly divides another number without any remainder. 1 is a factor of all numbers since it divides any number without leaving any remainder. This leads to the fact that every number is a factor of itself.
Let us take 12.
12 = 1 x 12
2 x 6
3 x 4
12 is written as a product of two different numbers in every step. Each and every number in the above list is called a factor of 12. Therefore, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.
So, to find the factor of any number, start with 1 and continue in the increasing order of numbers giving the same product and stop when a pair of numbers is repeated. In the above list, we stopped with 3 x 4 as the next pair in order will 4 x 3.
Multiple of a number is the result obtained when that number is multiplied by another number. Multiplication table is formed when this number is multiplied with numbers 1, 2,3,.... in a sequential manner. Let us take the number 3. So the multiples of 3 are 3 x 1 = 3, 3 x 2 = 6, 3 x 3 = 9,...

PRIME FACTORISATION:
Prime factorisation is the method in which a number is expressed as the product of its prime factors. Let us see some examples:
105 = 3 x 5 x 7
HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR (HCF)
HCF of two numbers is the highest factor that is common to both the numbers.
METHOD 1
Prime Factorisation Method
METHOD 2
COMMON DIVISION METHOD
In this method, we start dividing the numbers with prime factors that are common to all of them and stop dividing when there is no factor common to all the numbers left out. Let us take an example to explain this.
HCF using common division method
In the example given above, we started with prime factors common to all the three numbers. We find that the last step 1, 2, 4 has no common factor. So we stop with this. The product of all the common factors is taken as the HCF. Here the HCF is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 =48.
Least Common Multiple of two numbers:
LCM of two numbers is the least number that is exactly divisible by both the numbers. That is the least multiple common to both the numbers.
METHOD 1
Common Multiple Method:
In this method, we list the multiples of both the numbers and write down the first common multiple of both the numbers.
Let us find out the LCM of 5 and 6.
Multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72
Multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60
When we compare the above two lists of multiples of 5 and 6, we see that 30 is the first common multiple and obviously that is the least common multiple. Therefore LCM of 5 and 6 is 30.
Note that 60 is also a common multiple but not the least common multiple.
METHOD 2
Prime Factorisation Method:
In this method, we find the prime factors of both the numbers. LCM will be the product of the common factors and all other remaining factors of both the numbers.

METHOD 3
LCM USING COMMON DIVISION METHOD:
In the above common division method discussed for HCF, the division process is stopped when numbers do not have any other common factor. But fpr LCM, the division process is continued till we get 1 in the final step for all the numbers. The product of all the factors thus obtained will be the LCM.
