Question

the hcf and lcm of two numbers are 12 and 180 respectively if one of the number is 36 then find the other

Answer 1

To find : missing number .

Given : LCM and HCF of two numbers is $12$ and $180$ respectively and one of the number is $36$.

Solution :

• According to given data we are given that LCM and HCF of two numbers is $12$ and $180$ respectively .

• Let, missing number be $x$
• To find missing number  we use following formula :

• Product of HCF and LCM = Product of two numbers

• Therefore, substituting the values we get,

         $\begin{array}{l}12\times 180= 36 \times x \\x=\frac{12\times 180}{36} \\x =60\end{array}$

Hence, missing number is $60$ .
