Question

For two numbers 96 and 404, the HCF is 4. What is the LCM of the two numbers?

• A. 9696

Answer 1

The correct option is A 9696
Product of two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCM.

$\Rightarrow 96\times 404=4\times \text{LCM}\Rightarrow \text{LCM}=\frac{96\times 404}{4}=96\times 101=9696\Rightarrow \text{LCM = 9696}$

Therefore, HCF and LCM is 4 and 9696 respectively.
