GIVEN
The HCF of Two numbers is 24
The LCM of them is 1440
One of the numbers is 120
TO FIND :- The other number
SOLUTION
HCF × LCM = Product of Two numbers
Let two numbers be x and y
Formula can be written as ;
HCF(x,y) × LCM(x,y) = x × y
Now Given one of the number is 120 = x
1440 × 24 = 120 × y
=> 120y = 34,560
=> y = 288
Hence the other number is 288
VERIFICATION
LCM of 228 and 120 = 1440
HCM of 228 and 120 = 24
and
24 × 1440 = 288 × 120
=> 34,560 = 34,560
Hence LHS = RHS, our answer is correct.
