Question

LCM of the given two number is double the greater number and the difference between small number and GCF is 4 therefor the smaller number is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that L.C.M of the given two no is double the greater number.

Let the no. be x and y

According to the question

L.C.M = 2x

y - G.C.F = 4

G.C.F = ( y - 4 )

Hence,

x × y = L.C.M. × G.C.F.

xy = 2x × ( y - 4 )

xy = 2xy - 8x

xy - 2xy = ( - 8x )

- xy = -8x

y = 8

Hence, the smaller no is 8.
