The HCF of two numbers is (2^2\times3) and their LCM is (2^4\times3^3\times5). If one number is (2^4\times3\times5), what is the other number?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (2^2\times3^3)
Step 1: Product of two numbers equals HCF (\times) LCM. Step 2: The other number is (\frac{(2^2\times3)(2^4\times3^3\times5)}{2^4\times3\times5}=2^2\times3^3). Step 3: While dividing prime forms, subtract powers of the same base.
