Question

find the HCF of 96 and 104 if their LCM is 9696

Answer 1

Dear Student,
Assuming your question is to find out the HCF of 96 and 104, then
96=$2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3$
104=$2\times 2\times 2\times 13$
Then HCF of 96 and 104 is 8

Also, the LCM will not be 9696
The LCM of 96 and 104 is
$$\begin{gathered} 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 13 \\ =1248 \end{gathered}$$
