Convert base 10 273 to a base 12

Margaret [11]

The highest power of 12 that divides 273 (with remainder) is $12^2=144$ , and dividing gives

$273=1(144)+129$

Divide the remainder term by the next highest power of 12, $12^1=12$ .

$129=10(12)+9$

So $273_{10}=1a9_{12}$ , since

$273=1\cdot144+10\cdot12+9\cdot1=1\cdot12^2+10\cdot12^1+9\cdot12^0$

Two numbers have theses properties . both numbers are greater than 6 . their hcf = 6 . their lcm = 60. what are the two numbers

aleksandrvk [35]

Let the numbers be x and y.
x*y=HCF*LCM=6*60=360
thus
y=360/x
next we find the list of combinations of x and y and test if they satisfy the conditions above:
(6,60),(12,30),(18,20),(24,15)
out of the above, only (6,60) and (12,30) satisfy both conditions. Thus our answer is:
(6,60) or (12,30)
