Question

The product of two numbers is 2208 and their LCM is 552. What is their HCF?

Answer 1

product of numbers = HCF × LCM

2208= HCF × 552

HCF = 2208 /552

= 4

Answer 2

Answer: The product of two number is 2208 and their lowest common multiple is 552.The Highest Common Factor is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Then, according to the question the product of the two numbers is 2208 which means x*y=2208.

Since, 552 is lowest common multiple (given in question) therefore kx*ky= 552 therefore xyk^2 =552 this gives k^2=2208/552 which is equal to 4.
