Question Detail

The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 12 and 5040 respectively If one of the numbers is 144, find the other number

  • 400
  • 256
  • 120
  • 420

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Solve this question by using below formula.
Product of 2 numbers = product of their HCF and LCM

144 * x = 12 * 5040

x = (12*5040)/144 = 420

HCF of 803 and 876 is 73, Divide both by 73, We get the answer 11/12

5. The ratio of two numbers is 3 : 4 and their H.C.F. is 4. Their L.C.M. is

  • 48
  • 22
  • 56
  • 27

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x and 4x. Then, their H.C.F. = x. So, x = 4.
So, the numbers 12 and 16.
L.C.M. of 12 and 16 = 48.
