if you want the two numbers to be integers,then the answer is NO.

since 18 is their HCF let the two nos. be 18*a and 18*b where a and b be are some positive integers.

Since,

product of LCM and HCF = product of the two numbers

18X380 = 18aX18b

=>18ab = 380

=> 9ab =190

Since 190 is not divisible by 9,a and b be can’t have integer values. So there are no such number.
