Question

The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 33 and 264 respectively. When the first number is completely divided by 2 the quotient is 33. The other number is ______.

Answer 1

The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 33 and 264 respectively. When the first number is completely divided by 2 the quotient is 33. The other number is 132.

Explanation:

HCF = 33, LCM = 264.

First number ÷ 2 = 33 ⇒ First number = 66.

Product of two numbers = HCF × LCM = 33 × 264.

So, second number = `(33 xx 264)/66` = 132.
