Question

1) Jack thinks of two different numbers. The HCF of these numbers is 6 and one of the numbers is 24. Suggest what his other number may have been.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the other number is X,

and if the H.C.F. is 6 then.

According to question,

24= 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.

X=1, 6. (In which the HCF is 6)

Then the other number may be 6 or multiple of 6 as it may contain the factor 6.
