The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 126 and 9, respectively. If one of the numbers is 18, then what is the other number?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 63.

We know that,

⇒ a × b = HCF × LCM

here, a and b are two numbers

Now,

⇒ 18 × b = 126 × 9 

⇒ 2 × b = 126

⇒ b = 63

Hence, the other number is 63
