The ratio of two number is 7 : 13 and their HCF is 8. Their LCM is :
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 728
Let's assume the ratio of the number = 7x : 13x
So, the HCF of the numbers = x = 8
Now the first number = 7 × 8 = 56
Second number = 13 × 8 = 104
We know that :
First number × Second number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 56 × 104 = 8 × LCM
LCM = 728
