Question

The HCF and LCM of two numbers is 36 and 720 respectively. If one of the numbers is 180, the other number is ______.

Answer 1

We have, one number $=180$
Let other number be $x$.
Now, product of numbers $=HCF\times LCM$
$\Rightarrow$ $180\times x=36\times 720$
$\Rightarrow$ x = $\frac{36\times 720}{180}$ = 144
