The HCF of two numbers is (6), and the numbers are (6r), (6s). If (r=7) and (s=8), what is their LCM?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (336)
Step 1: When (r) and (s) are coprime, LCM is (6rs). Step 2: (7) and (8) are coprime, so LCM (=6\times7\times8=336). Step 3: Factor out the HCF and check the remaining numbers.
