Question

The lcm of two numbers is 48 and their hcf is 8. if one number is 16, then the other number is

Answer 1

l c m = 48 h c f = 8 a = 16 h c f * lcm  = a * b 8 * 48 = 16 * b b = 24

Answer 2

Answer:

The other number is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

L.C.M of two numbers = 48

H.C.F of two numbers = 8

One number = 16

As we know,

L.C.M * H.C.F = Product of two numbers

Let the other number be x

L.C.M * H.C.F = one number * x

Substituting the values,

48 * 8 = 16 * x

384 = 16 * x

x = 384 / 16

x = 24

Hence,

The other number is 24
