Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s take the numbers as X and Y.
X+Y=54
X(mod2)=0 and X(mod3)=0
Both X and Y are divisible by 6. Therefore:
X=6K K=1,2,…,8
Y=6m m=1,2,…,8
I am assuming neither of these numbers is zero.
Then just plug for different values of m and K.
Note: Since 54 is divisible by 6 then 54 minus any multiple of 6 will be divisible by 6. Therefore every possible value of K and m are solutions.
K=1, m=8 → X=6 and Y=48
K=2, m=7 → X=12 and Y=42
K=3, m=6 → X=18 and Y=36
K=4, m=5 → X=24 and Y=30
