Question

LCM of two numbers is 1000 which cannot be their HCF

Answer 1

Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 52 and their LCM is 168. What are the numbers?

H.c.f = h.c.f of (52,168) 

= 4

Lcm / hcf 

= 168/4

= 42

Write in co prime

14*3 or 6*7

So h.c.f *(one coprime part) 

4*14 & 4*3 

56 & 12 

Or 

4*6 & 4*7 

24 & 28 

But here its given that sum should be 52

So 24 & 28 is the answer
