H.C.F and L.C.M Problems-Data Intensity 1 :: Discussion


9.The product of two numbers is 2028 and their H.C.F. is 13. The number of such pairs is?
A.1
B.2
C.3
D.4
Answer:  Option  B
Explanation:

Let the numbers 13a and 13b.

Then, 13a x 13b = 2028

 ab = 12.

Now, the co-primes with product 12 are (1, 12) and (3, 4).

[Note: Two integers a and b are said to be coprime or relatively prime if they have no common positive factor other than 1 or, equivalently, if their greatest common divisor is 1 ]

So, the required numbers are (13 x 1, 13 x 12) and (13 x 3, 13 x 4).

Clearly, there are 2 such pairs.
