Math Problem Statement

Give answer

The LCM of two numbers is 22 times their HCF. The sum of the LCM and HCF is 5750. If one number is 220, then the other number is?

Solution

Let's analyze the question from your image:

  • The LCM of two numbers is 22 times their HCF.
  • The sum of the LCM and HCF is 5750.
  • One number is 220, and we need to find the other number.

Let's solve step-by-step.

  1. Let HH represent the HCF and LL represent the LCM of the two numbers.

  2. From the problem, L=22HL = 22H (since LCM is 22 times the HCF).

  3. The sum of the LCM and HCF is given as 5750: L+H=5750L + H = 5750 Substituting L=22HL = 22H into this equation: 22H+H=575022H + H = 5750 23H=575023H = 5750 Solving for HH: H=575023=250H = \frac{5750}{23} = 250 So, the HCF is 250.

  4. Now, we know the LCM is: L=22×250=5500L = 22 \times 250 = 5500

  5. Using the relation between LCM, HCF, and the product of two numbers, we have: LCM×HCF=Product of the two numbers\text{LCM} \times \text{HCF} = \text{Product of the two numbers} Therefore: 5500×250=220×Other number5500 \times 250 = 220 \times \text{Other number} Solving for the other number: Other number=5500×250220=6250\text{Other number} = \frac{5500 \times 250}{220} = 6250

Thus, the other number is 6250.
