Answer 2

Answer :

• The second number is 12

Given :

• HCF of two numbers is 4 and the LCM is 48
• One of the numbers is 16

To find :

• Second number

Solution :

• Let the second number be x

Given,

• LCM = 48
• HCF = 4

We know that

• LCM × HCF = product of two numbers

Given,

• One number is 16

Substituting the value :

》LCM × HCF = Product of two numbers

》48 × 4 = 16 × x

》x = 4 × 48 / 16

》x = 192/16

》x = 12

Hence, The second number is 12

Verification :

》48 × 4 = 16 × x

》192 = 16 × 12

》192 = 192

Hence , Verified
