Question

the ratio of two numbers is 5 ratio 6 and their LCM is 480 then their HCF is

Answer 1

5x x 6x = 480
30x =480
x =480/30
x=16

Answer 2

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that

Ratio of two numbers are in the ratio 5:6 and their L.C.M is 480.

We need to find their H.C.F

Let the ratio of two numbers be 5:6

Let H.C.F be X

We know that

L.C.M = H.C.F(product of ratio of two numbers)

480 = 5 × 6 × X

480 = 30X

X = $\frac{480}{30}\ =\ 16$

X = 16

Therefore, H.C.F - 16
