Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through this step-by-step.
Given:
- The LCM of two numbers is 12 times their HCF.
- The sum of HCF and LCM is 403.
- The first number is 93.
We need to find the second number.
Let:
- be the HCF of the two numbers.
- be the LCM of the two numbers.
From the problem, we have the following relationships:
Step 1: Substitute into
So, .
Step 2: Find using
Now we know:
- HCF () = 31
- LCM () = 372
Step 3: Use the relationship between HCF, LCM, and the two numbers
For two numbers and , the product of the numbers is given by: Substituting the values we have:
Calculating :
Thus:
Conclusion:
The second number is 124.

Here are some related questions for further exploration:
- What is the relationship between HCF and LCM of two numbers in general?
- How can the formula be derived?
- If two numbers have their LCM equal to their HCF, what does it imply about the numbers?
- How would the solution change if we knew only the LCM or HCF alone?
- Why does knowing one number's value and the LCM-HCF relationship help in finding the other number?
Tip: When given HCF and LCM relationships in problems, try using substitution techniques to simplify and solve the equations directly.
