Answer 1

hey!! here is ur answer

LCM =32 ; hcf=8; 2nd number=16; 1st number=x

product of two numbers = their ( hcf x LCM)

16x = 32 x 8
16x = 256
x = 256÷16 = 16
hence first number is 16

hope it will help you

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey friend,

Here is the answer you are searching for,

Given,

H.C.F = 8

L.C.M = 32

2nd Number = 16

Let 1st number be x,

By using the formula,

H.C.F × L.C.M = Product of both numbers.

=> 32×8 = 16×x

=> x = 32×8/16 = 16

Therefore,

First Number = 16

HOPE IT HELPS YOU.
