a) 10.5
b) 11.5
c) 10.7
d) 11.7
Correct answer is: a) 10.5
Explanation
The product of two number is 5.25.
Their HCF be 0.5.
We know,
HCF \times LCM = Product of Two Number
\rightarrow 0.5\times LCM = 5.25
\rightarrow LCM =\large\frac{5.25}{0.5}
\rightarrow LCM =\left(\frac{525\times10}{5\times100}\right) [Remove Decimal]
\rightarrow LCM =10.5
So that, their LCM is 10.5.
Ans: 10.5 is the LCM of two numbers.
Other variants of this particular math question are:
- If the product of two numbers is 5.25 and their highest common factor (HCF) is 0.5, what is their least common multiple (LCM)?
- Given that the product of two numbers is 5.25 and their greatest common divisor (GCD) is 0.5, what is their lowest common multiple (LCM)?
- When the product of two numbers equals 5.25 and their highest common factor (HCF) is 0.5, what is their least common multiple (LCM)?
