Question

Hcf of two numbers is 2 and lcm is 54 if one of the number is 27 find the other number

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Given that:

Let the two numbers = a and b

H. C. F of the two numbers = 2

L.C.M of the two numbers = 54

If a = 27 ; b =?

The product of a and b = product of their L. C. M and H. C. F ;

HENCE ;

27 * b = 2 * 54

27b = 108

b = 108/27

b = 4

Hence, second number is 4
