Question

Can two numbers have 15 as their HCM and 175 as their LCM give reasons

Answer 1

We have,

H.C.F = 15 and L.C.M = 175

We know that ,H.C.F(a,b) is the factor of L.C.M(a,b) , where 'a' and 'b' are two positive integers.

So, 15 isn't a factor of 175 .

Hence, two numbers can't have 15 as their H.C.M and 175 as their L.C.M .
