Question

HCF OF 6 AND "a" is 2 . And LCM is 60 of the same . Find the value of "a".

Answer 1

$\boxed{\boxed{\green{\bold{\sf{a=20}}}}}$

$\rule{200}{2}$

$\underline{\mathbb{STEP\:BY\:STEP\:EXPLANATION} }$

The two numbers given are 6 and "a"

HCF(6,a) = 2

LCM(6,a) = 60

Where,

HCF stands for Highest Common Factor

LCM stands for Least Common Multiple

$\rule{200}{2}$

We know that :-

Product(a, b) = LCM(a, b) *HCF(a, b)

$\rule{200}{2}$

According to this rule we have :-

$6a = 60 \times 2 \\ \\ \\a = \frac{60 \times 2}{6} \\ \\ \\ \\a = 10 \times 2 \\ \\ \\ \\a = 20$

$\rule{200}{2}$

Thus value of a is equal to 20

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The two numbers given are 6 and "a"

HCF(6,a) = 2

LCM(6,a) = 60

Where,

HCF stands for Highest Common Factor

LCM stands for Least Common Multiple

We know that :-

Product(a, b) = LCM(a, b) *HCF(a, b)

According to this rule we have :-

$\begin{lgathered}6a = 60 \times 2 \\ \\ \\a = \frac{60 \times 2}{6} \\ \\ \\ \\a = 10 \times 2 \\ \\ \\ \\a = 20\end{lgathered}$

Thus value of a is equal to 20
