760/18=42.22

here, HCF does not divide the LCM complete therefore it is not possible to have two numbers whose hcf is 18 and lcm is 760.

Method - 1:

Let the two numbers be a and b.

We know that LCM * HCF = Product of two numbers

760 * 18 = 18a * 18b

760 = 18ab

ab = 760/18

Its not possible.

Method - 2:

18 is not a factor of 760.

Therefore it is not possible.

Hope this helps!
