LCM of the two numbers is 120. HCF of them is 4. To
find such numbers.
We know that if P and Q are the numbers
whose HCF is H, and LCM is M , then as H is the HCF, H should divide both Pand
Q.
P = H*p,
Q =
H*q.
where pq are integers prime to each
other.
Therefore H*pq = LCM =
120
pq = 120/4 = 120/4 =
30.
Now find pq such that pq = 30 and p and are prime to
each other.
30 = 30*1. Threfore P = 1*4= 120 and Q = 30*4 =
120.
30 = 2*15. Therefore P = 2*4 = 8 and Q = 15*4 =
60
30 = 3*10. Therefore P= 3*4 = 12 and Q = 30*4 =
40.
30 = 5*6. P = 5*4 = 20 and Q = 6*4 =
24.
Therefore the following pairs have the HCF 4 and LCM =
120.
(20, 24), (12,40), (8,60) ,
(4,120).
