Solution
510 and 92
510 = 2 x 255
= 2 x 3 x 85
= 2 x 3 x 5 x 17
= 2 x 3 x 5 x 17 x 1
Therefore 510 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 17 x 1 .....(A)
92 = 2 x 46
= 2 x 2 x 23
Hence 92 = 2 x 2 x 23 .....(B)
From (A) and (B) HCF of 510 and 92 is = 2 and their
LCM is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 17 x 23 = 23460
Product of the LCM and HCF = 2 x 23460 = 46920
Product of the two numbers = 510 x 92 = 46920
Therefore it is proved that LCM x HCF = Product of the two numbers.
