Answer:

The numbers are 24 and 28. But how did I get it?

Simple.

Let us assume that the two numbers are a and b. Since LCM is an even number, this means atleast one of a and b has to be an even number. However, if one of them is even, the other should be even too because 52(even) minus even is even.

Therefore both a and b are even.

Wow we can take two numbers between 2 and 50 which are even, their sum is 52 and their multiples is 168.

You will get 24 and 28.
