Question

LCM and HCF of two number are 960 and 16 respectively . If one of the number 768 find other number

Answer 1

EXPLANATION.

L.C.M and H.C.F of two number are 960 and 16.

One number = 768.

As we know that,

Let other number be = y.

⇒ L.C.M x H.C.F = Products of two number.

⇒ 960 x 16 = 768 x y.

⇒ 960 = 48 x y.

⇒ 20 = y.

⇒ y = 20.

Other number be = 20.

Answer 2

given that ,

• LCM (768,y) = 960
• HCF (768,y) = 16
• one of the two numbers is 768

To find ;-

• other number

Solution ;-

Let other number be y

formula ,

LCM * HCF = Product of Two numbers

then ,

⇒ 960 * 16 = 768 * y

⇒ y = 15360 ÷ 768 = 20

• Other number is 20
