Solution

From the given details

we have determine the greater number between 1520 and 3540

Let us take the LCM of denominators that is

LCMof20and40

Prime factorisation of 20=2x2x5

Prime factorisation of 40=2x2x2x5

LCM=2x2x2x5=40

(1520)=(15×220×2)=3040

and (3540)=(35×140×1)=3540

Now, 30<35

(3040)<(3540)

Hence,(1520)<(3540)

3540 is greater.

So, between the numbers 1520 and 3540, the greater number is3540.
