Question

Product of 2 numbers is 112 if lcm is 75 then what is the hcf

Answer 1

We know that product of two numbers is the product of HCF and LCM.

Here product is given as 112 and LCM is 175.

Hence if we know the product and lcm, we can easily find HCF.

Using the above fact we have

product of two numbers = 112 = 75 x hcf

Hence by dividing we have

HCF = 112/75

NOte: Normally numbers would be integers and hence there is a mistake in the question.
