The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 8 and 48 respectively. If one of the numbers is 16, then the other number is = ?

Question: The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 8 and 48 respectively. If one of the numbers is 16, then the other number is = ?

Solution:
Here,
HCF = 8
LCM = 48

One number = 16

Let the other number be = p
∴ 16p = 48 × 8
⇒ p = 24

Hence, the other number is = 24
