Question

if lcm, hcf of 2 numbers are 1736, 124 and one of the number is 248, find other number

Answer 1

As we know, lcm × hcf = product of two numbers.

so, 1736 × 124 ÷ 248

868 is answer

Answer 2

The other number is 868.

GIVEN

Lcm and hcf of 2 numbers are 1736, 124 and one of the number is 248.

TO FIND

The other number.

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows;

Let the other number be x

We know that,

The relationship between LCM, HCF and product is as follows;

Product of two numbers = Product of LCM and HCF

Therefore,

$x \times 248 = 1736 \times 124$

Solving for x;

$x = \frac{1736 \times 124}{248}$

x = 868

Hence, The other number is 868.
