Question

HCF and LCM of the two numbers are 8 and 96 respectively. if one of the two numbers is24, the other number is

Answer 1

since

Product of two numbers = H.C.F × L.C.M,

then

24×IInd number =8×96,

then

IInd number=(8×96)/24,

=8×4,

=32

Answer 2

HCF×LCM=product of the two numbers
since one number is 24 we suppose that other number be x.

so, 8×96=24×x

x=8×96/24=32
therefore other number=32
