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

1 answer:

6 0

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)

You should buy cookies, because .80 x200=160 , which is less than $200
