Question

The product of two positive
numbers is 15867 and
the larger one is 8 times
the other find the number.​

Answer 1

$\underline{ \green{ \bf{Given : }}}$

• Products of two positive no. is 15,867
• The larger no. is 8 times than the other one.

$\underline{ \green{ \bf{To \: find : }}}$

• The original no.

$\underline{ \green{ \bf{Solution : }}}$

If we assume that the another no. is x

Then 8x will be also a number according to the given statement.

NOW,

$☯ \begin{gathered}\underline{\boldsymbol{According\: to \:the\: question :}}\\\end{gathered}$

$\sf\implies x + 8x = 15867\\ \sf\implies 9x = 15867\\ \sf\implies x = \frac{ \cancel{15867}}{ \cancel9} \\ { \underline{ \boxed{\bf{ \green{ \therefore \: x = 1763}}}}}$

Therefore,

Required answer :

➠One no. is x = 1,763

➠ And, another one will be 8x = 8 × 1,763 :

14,104
