HCF and LCM of two numbers
Given:
HCF = 23
LCM = 460
To find:
One of the numbers between 93 and 125
Approach:
We know that the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM. So, we can write the equation as:
Product of two numbers = HCF * LCM
Let's assume the two numbers as 'a' and 'b' such that a < />
So, we have:
a * b = 23 * 460
a * b = 10580
Finding the number between 93 and 125:
To find the number between 93 and 125, we need to find the factors of 10580 that lie within this range.
Prime factorizing 10580, we get:
10580 = 2^2 * 5 * 529
Now, we need to find the factors of 10580 that lie between 93 and 125.
Finding the factors of 10580:
The factors of 10580 are:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 529, 1058, 2116, 2645, 5290, 10580
Among these factors, the numbers that lie between 93 and 125 are:
105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124
Comparing these numbers with the given options, we can see that the number 115 lies between 93 and 125.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - 115.
