Question

theLCM of two number is 160 if the ratio of these numbers is 5:8 find the number​

Answer 1

first know what is LCM

it is least common multiple or a number that can be fairly divided by each of the numbers taken initially.

so let us suppose the common multiple to be X

Now as per your question,

2X*3X = 48

6X = 48

X = 48/6

X = 8

so the numbers are 16 and 24

hope my answer helps u

Answer 2

let the ratio be 5 x 8x

5x × 8x= 160

x= 4 so

numbers are 20 and 32
