Question

Two numbers have these properties Both numbers are greater than 8 The HCF is 8 The LCM is 80 Find the two numbers

Answer 1

10 and 64.

16 and 40

Explanation:

The product of the two numbers is equal to the product of LCM and HCF

Number 1* Number 2= LCM * HCF

Number 1* Number 2= 8*80

Number 1* Number 2= 640

Both the numbers are greater than 8. Suppose one number is 10 then the other number will be 640 ÷ 10= 64

so the two numbers will be 10 and 64.

Similalrly the two numbers can also be 16 and 40 and like wise.

Any number greater than 8 dividing 640 will give the second number also.
