`other \: number = (9 * 459)/(27) \\ \\ = (459)/(3) \\ \\ = 153`

Answer 2

Other number is 153

Explanation:

Usually, the product of the HCF and LCM will be the product of the 2 numbers in question.

The HCF and LCM are given as 9 and 459.

While one of the numbers used to find the HCF & LCM was 27.

Let the other number be y.

Thus;

27y = 459 × 9

y = 459 × 9/27

y = 153
