Question

The LCM of 2 numbers is 3718. Which of the following numbers can
not possibly be the HCF of these numbers.
a) 143
b) 26
c) 13
d) 104

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Yor answer is option C, 104 because when we divide 3718 with 13 its q=286

and if we divide 3718 with 26 its q = 143

same as by 104 its gives 35.75 & with 143 it gives 26.

So,104 is not dividing 3718 completely so it answer is option C
