Question

If the hcf of 72 and 120 is 24 then their lcm is

Answer 1

Answer:

Product of numbers = HCF × LCM

72 × 120 = 24 × LCM

LCM = 360

Answer 2

If there are two or more numbers the relation of their L.C.M and H.C.F. is given as follows:

H.C.F.×L.C.M. = their product

Solution,

Here,

H.C.F. = 24 and product = 72×120 = 8640

Now,

H.C.F.×L.C.M. = product

or, 24×L.C.M. = 8640

or, L.C.M. = 360
