The LCM of two numbers is perfectly divisible by their HCF
110/15 = 7.333.........
As the LCM is not divisible by the HCF then two numbers can't have 15 and 110 as their HCF and LCM respectively.

Hi friend !!
The HCF of two numbers is a factor of its LCM .
Hence, the LCM must be exactly divisible by its HCF
Here ,
lcm = 110
hcf = 15
110 and 15 are not exactly divisible by each other ,
hence , no two numbers can have 15 as their HCF and 110 as their LCM
