Question

the HCF and LCM of two numbers are 131 and 8253 if one of the number is 917 find the other number

Answer 1

Use this simple formula.

Product of two numbers = HCF * LCM of the very same numbers.

So x * 917 = 131 * 8253

Here x is the other number.

Solve and you'll get the answer.

Answer 2

 let the number be x.

We know that product of two numbers  = HCF * LCM.

                            x * 917 = 131 * 8253

                            x = 131 * 8253/917

                               = 1179.


The other number = 1179.
