Question

the HCf and LCm of two numbers are 6 and 72 respectively. If one of the numbers is 24, what is the other number

Answer 1

Answer:

HCF • LCM = a • b

6 • 72 = 24 • b

=> b = 18

Answer 2

Answer:

HCF=6

LCM=72

ONE NO. IS 24

Let we assume second no. be x

so,

LCM.HCF=Product of no.

24.x=6.72

x=6×72÷24

x=18
