Question
Class 6MathematicsPlaying With Numbers

The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 6 and 120 respectively. If one of the numbers is 24, find the other number.

Verified Answer

Given that: HCF = 6

LCM = 120

Let the two numbers be a and b, where a = 24, b = ?

We know that: a × b = HCF × LCM

⇒ 24 × b = 6 × 120

⇒ b = 6 × 12024

⇒ b = 30

Hence, the other number is 30.
