Question

The product of two numbers is 2420 and their LCM is 110.Find the HCF
of the two numbers.

Answer 1

Answer: Let the two numbers be x and y. We know that:

x*y = 2420 ---(1)

LCM(x, y) = 110 ---(2)

We can write the LCM as:

LCM(x, y) = (x*y)/HCF(x, y)

Substituting the given values, we get:

110 = (x*y)/HCF(x, y)

Multiplying both sides by HCF(x, y), we get:

HCF(x, y) * 110 = x*y

Substituting equation (1), we get:

HCF(x, y) * 110 = 2420

Dividing both sides by 110, we get:

HCF(x, y) = 2420/110

HCF(x, y) = 22

Therefore, the HCF of the two numbers is 22.
