Question

♣ and ♦ are two natural numbers. Their HCF is 3 and their LCM is 180. The product, ♣ x ♦ =

Answer 1

Answer:

Number property:

The product of the two numbers = (GCF)*(LCM)

So if the 2nd number is x

45x = 3(180)

x = 12

check: 12 and 45

12 = 2*2*3

45 = 3*3*5

So the LCF = 3

So the LCM = 2*2*3*3*5 = 180GCF of 2 natural numbers is 3 and their LCM is 180 if one of the numbers is 45 then find second number
