Problema Solution

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

(a) given tht the two numbers are 36 and x,what is the value of x.

(b) supposing the nubers in (a) above and another number y have their GCD as 9 and LCM as 600 find the value of y.

Answer provided by our tutors

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
