Question

the sum of two numbers is 216 and their H.C.F is 27. the numbers are

Answer 1

Since HCF is 27, the two numbers can be written as 27*x and 27*y, Where x and y are co-prime (in order to make sure that the HCF is 27). Since 27 is the highest common factor, thenumbers can be written in form 27x, 27y where x and y are coprime. ... Hcf is 27 which means numbers are multiples of 27. Their sum is 216.
