Question

Two numbers hcf is 16 and the difference also 16 find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

16 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

6=2×2×2×2

HCF =16=2×2×2×2

So 2,2,2 and 2 are the common factors of the two numbers .

2×2×2×2=16

So one number is 16x , other is 16y

x and y are the uncommon factors of the two numbers .

LCM =16 ×product of uncommon factors

as given that LCM=16 , we may write it as 16×1

so product of uncommon factors=1

So, two numbers are 16xnd 16 y

or , 16×1 and 16×1

or 16 and 16 ans
