The LCM of two numbers is 147, and their HCF is 7. If one number is 21, find the other number.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 49.

We know that,

L.C.M × H.C.F = a × b

here, a and b are two numbers

Now,

⇒ 147 × 7 = 21 × b

⇒ b = 147/3

⇒ b = 49

Hence, the other number is 49
