Question

LCM of two number is 138 But their GCD is 23 The number are in a ratio 1:6 which is the largest number among the two

Answer 1

Answer:

Largest number is 138

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common factor between the numbers be X,

then the numbers are X,6X

LCM x HCF = a x b

138 x 23 =  X  x  6X

3174= 6x^2

x^2= 3174/6= 529

x = root of 529

x =23

Thus , the numbers are 23, 138
