Question

the HCF of three numbers is 23. if they are in the ratio 1:2:3, then find the numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

23,46 and 69.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The HCF of three numbers is 23, if they in ratio 1:2:3.

To find : The numbers ?

Solution :

Let the ratio be 'x'.

So numbers became x,2x and 3x.

HCF is the highest common factor.

Now HCF of x,2x and 3x is x.

We have given, HCF of three numbers is 23.

So, x=23

The numbers are

x=23

2x=2(23)=46

3x=3(23)=69

Therefore, The numbers are 23,46 and 69.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio be 'x'.

So numbers became x,2x and 3x.

HCF is the highest common factor.

Now HCF of x,2x and 3x is x.

We have given, HCF of three numbers is 23.

So, x=23

The numbers are

x=23

2x=2 × 23 =46

3x=3 × 23)=69  

Therefore, The numbers are 23,46 and 69.
