Question

the H.c.m of two numbers is 8 and their L.c.m is 48 if one of the number is 16 . Find the other

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L.C.M × H.CF=PRODUCT OF TWO NUMBER

LET FIRST NUMBER IS a AND IS b

IT MEAN THAT ::

LCM× HCF=A × B

8×48=16×Y

384=16Y

384÷16=Y

24=Y

Answer 2

If one number is 16, let the other number be n.

HCF × LCM = product of the 2 numbers

⇒ 8 × 48 = n × 16

⇒ n = (8 × 48) ÷ 16

⇒ n = 48÷2 = 24

∴ The other number is 24
