Question

Q.3 If HCF (16, y) = 8 and LCM (16,y) = 48. then the value of y is:​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

• HCF(16,y) = 8
• LCM(16,y) = 48

To Find -

• Value of y

As we know that :-

• LCM × HCF = product of two numbers

→ 8 × 48 = 16 × y

→ 8 × 3 = y

→ y = 24

Hence,

The value of y is 24.

Answer 2

Given ,

HCF of 16 , y = 8

LCM of 16 , y = 48

We know that ,

$\underbrace{\bf{LCM*HCF=Product\ of\ two\ numbers}}$

⇒ 8 * 48 = 16 * y

⇒ 48 = 2y

⇒ y = 24

So , the value of y is 24 .
