No. Because HCF is factor of LCM.

But in this case when we divide 72 with 20, twelve as remainder.

Hope you understand.
If you satisfied mark it brainliest.

Answer:

No,

72 and 20 are cannot be LCM and HCF of two numbers

LCM of two numbers = 72,

HCF of two numbers = 20

/*We know that,

HCF is always a factor of LCM.*/

Here,

But , it is clear that 20 is not a factor of 72.

Therefore,

72 and 20 cannot be the LCM and HCF of any two numbers.
