2015/083) The L.C.M and H.C.F of two numbers are 1760 and 32 respectively. If one of the number is 160 find the other.

$1760 = 160 * 11 = 32 * 5 * 11$
$160 = 32 * 5$

32 is the HCF and and one number is 32 * 5
the other number has to be 32m when 32m* 5 = 1760 and m is coprime to 5
so m = 11
so other number = 32 * 11 = 352

This can also be solved by using the rule that product of HCF and LCM is the product of numbers
