Question

The LCM of two numbers is 48.The numbers are in the ratio of 2:3. Find the sum of the numbers​

Answer 1

first know what is LCM

it is least common multiple or a number that can be fairly divided by each of the numbers taken initially.

so let us suppose the common multiple to be X

Now as per your question,

2X*3X = 48

6X = 48

X = 48/6

X = 8

so the numbers are 16 and 24
