Question

the HCF and LCM of two numbers are 16 and 192 respectively.One of the number is 48.What is the other number?( ANSWER WITH STATEMENTS)

Answer 1

HCF × LCM = product of two numbers

= 16 × 192 = 48 × other number

= 16 × 192 / 48 = other number

= 48 = other number

other number = 48 Ans.

Answer 2

SINCE , HCF × LCM= product of two given numbers

since here ,the HCF=16, LCM=192 FIRST NO.=48

LET the second no. be x

then, HCF×LCM=48 × X

16×192=48× X

3072=48× X

3072/48=X

X=64

HENCE THE SECOND NUMBER IS 64
