HCF of two numbers = 145
LCM of two numbers = 2175
Let one of the two numbers be 725 and other be x.
Using the formula, product of two numbers = HCF × LCM
we conclude that
725 × x = 145 × 2175
x = 145 ×2175/ 725
= 435
Hence, the other number is 435.
Given: HCF = 145
LCM = 2175
One of the two numbers = 725
Let another number be m.
To Find: The value of m
We know, product of two numbers = HCF × LCM
Substitute the values, we get
725 x m = 145 x 2175
m = (145 x 2175)/725 = 435
The number is 435. Answer!
HCF of two numbers = 145
LCM of two numbers = 2175
Let one of the two numbers be 725 and other be x.
Using the formula, product of two numbers = HCF × LCM
we conclude that
725 × x = 145 × 2175
x = \(\frac{145\times2175}{725}\)
= 435
Hence, the other number is 435.
