Problema Solution

The LCM of two numbers is 180 and their GCD is 12.

a) If the two numbers are 36 and x, find the value of x

b) suppose the two numbers in part (a) and another number y have GCD as 6 and LCM as 900, work out the value of y.

Answer provided by our tutors

here

a. 36 and x are two number

thus, GCD=12

thus , 36/12=3

hence ,

180/3=60

hence other number x=60

b. GCD=6 and LCM=900

thus, one number is 36

hence , 36/6=6

hence , the other number y=900/6=300/2=150
