Question

Can any numbers have 16 as their HCF and 324 as their LCM

Answer 1

HCF of two numbers is a factor of LCM of those numbers.

Here,

HCF = 16 LCM = 324

Factorisation of 324 =

2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3

Clearly, it can be seen that 16 is not a factor of 324.

Hence, no numbers can satisfy this.
