Question

If the LCM of two no. is 845 times there HCF and the sum of LCM and HCF is 1150 then find HCF​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that LCM of two numbers is 845 times HCF

LCM(a, b) = 845 HCF (a, b) --- (1)

Also, sum of LCM and HCF is 1150 times HCF

LCM(a, b) + HCF(a, b) = 1150  ---- (2)

Substituting (1) in (2), we get

845 HCF (a, b) + HCF (a, b) = 1150

846 HCF (a, b) = 1150

HCF (a, b) = \frac{1150}{846}

HCF (a, b) = 1.3

Question is wrong as HCF cannot be decimal number, it should be whole number
