Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM of two numbers = 72, HCF of two numbers = 20

info: HCF is always a factor of LCM

  • 72/20 = 3.6

As we see 72 is not fully divisible by 20, so 20 is not a factor of 72

Since HCF is not a factor of LCM,  72 and 20 cannot be the LCM and HCF of any two numbers.
