Question

Can 2 numbers have 12 as their HCF and 340 as LCM? Give reason

Answer 1

Answer ✌,

HCF stands for Highest Common Factor while, LCM stands for Least Common Multiple.

● HCF of two numbers must be a factor of LCM of those numbers .

According to the question, HCF = 12 and LCM = 340 .

But 340 is not divisible by 12.

So, two numbers cannot have 12 and 340 as their HCF and LCM.

Thanks!

.....^_^......for two numbers to have 12 as their HCF and 340 as their LCM.....

the HCF should be a factor of LCM means the LCM should be completely divisible by HCF .....



so lets make it!!!....
