Answer 2

Answer:

The other number is 16.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The HCF of two numbers is 4 and LCM is 48. If one of the numbers is 12.

To find : One of the divisions of the numbers is?

Solution :

Let the other number be x.

We know that,

$HCF\times LCM=\text{Product of two numbers}$

HCF=4

LCM=48

One number = 12

other number = x

Substitute all values,

$HCF\times LCM=\text{Product of two numbers}$

$4\times48=12\times x$

$x=\frac{4\times48}{12}$

$x=16$

So, The other number is 16.
