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!
