420
Product of 2 numbers = product of their HCF and LCM
144 * x = 12 * 5040
x = (12*5040)/144 = 420

lets say second no.= a
lcm×hcf = product of two numbers.
lcm=5040 hcf=12
so lcm×hcf= 144×a
5040×12=144×a
60480/144= a
a=420
lcm×hcf = product of two numbers.
lcm=5040 hcf=12
so lcm×hcf= 144×a
5040×12=144×a
60480/144= a
a=420
