Question

Can 72 and 20 respectively be the HCF and LCM of two number . Write down the reason

Answer 1

Answer:

No, 72 and 20 cannot he the LCM and HCF of two numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

LCM of two numbers=72

HCF of two numbers=20

We know that,

HCF is always a factor of LCM

Here,

If we divide 72 with 20 the remainder is 12 therefore, it is clear that 20 is not a factor of 72.

Therefore,

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