Question

The product of two co primes is 253 what is the lcm of these numbers

Answer 1

Thanks for the question.

We are given the product of two co primes that is 253 . We are asked to find the LCM of these numbers. The LCM of these numbers is 253 .

We know that,

Co primes are numbers which don't have any common factor other than 1 , It indirectly means that HCF ( Highest common factor) of co primes is 1 .

HCF ( Co primes) = 1 .

Also,
HCF × LCM = Product of the numbers ( This is the relationship for two numbers)

So in case of co primes,

The above relationship becomes

1 * LCM = Product of numbers.

So, LCM = Product of co primes.

In this case, Product of co primes is 253 . So their LCM is also 253 .
