The product of two numbers is 720 and their Highest Common Factor is 4. What is the Least Common Multiple of these numbers?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 180.

The product of two numbers = 720

The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of the two numbers = 4

So

HCF × LCM = Product of the two numbers

⇒ 4 × LCM = 720

⇒ LCM = 720/4 = 180
