Question

Jack thinks of two different numbers. The HCF of these numbers is 6 and LCM is 12 and one of the numbers is 24. Find the other number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

since 24 = 6×2²

any multiple of 6 that does not also have 2 as a factor:  

6×1=6

6×3=18

6×5=30

6×7=42

etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the other number is X,

and if the H.C.F. is 6 then.

According to question,

24= 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.

X=1, 6. (In which the HCF is 6)

Then the other number may be 6 or multiple of 6 as it may contain the factor 6.
