The H.C.F of two numbers is 23 and the other two factors of their L.C.M are 13 and 14. The larger of the two numbers is___________?
Correct answer: C. 322
- A. 276
- B. 299
- C. 322
- D. 345
Explanation
If the HCF is 23 and the other factors of the LCM are 13 and 14, the two numbers are 23 x 13 = 299 and 23 x 14 = 322. The larger number is therefore 322. The likely mistake is choosing 299, which is the smaller number formed with the factor 13.
