The Least Common Multiple and Highest Common Factor of two numbers are 60 and 3 respectively. If their difference is 3, then what will be the sum of these two numbers?

The Least Common Multiple and Highest Common Factor of two numbers are 60 and 3 respectively. If their difference is 3, then what will be the sum of these two numbers? Correct Answer 27

GIVEN:

L.C.M. = 60

H.C.F. = 3

Difference in numbers = 3

FORMULA USED:

L.C.M. × H.C.F. = product of numbers

CALCULATION:

Product of numbers = 60 × 3 = 180

Difference = 3

→ Numbers are 12 and 15 (Since 12 × 15 = 180, satisfies the condition)

→ Sum of numbers = 12 + 15 = 27
