Math Problem Statement

The highest common factor of two numbers is 14. The lowest common multiple of the same two numbers is 210. Both numbers are less than 100. What is the difference between the two numbers?

Solution

We are given the following details:

  • The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two numbers is 14.
  • The Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of the two numbers is 210.
  • Both numbers are less than 100.

We need to find the difference between the two numbers.
