Hcf And Lcm
The product of two numbers is 2028 and their H.C.F is 13. The number of such pairs is ___________?
Explanation and memory cue
Given the product of two numbers is 2028 and their HCF is 13, we can write the numbers as 13a and 13b where HCF(a,b) = 1. Then, 13a × 13b = 2028 ⇒ 169ab = 2028 ⇒ ab = 12. The number of pairs (a,b) with product 12 and HCF 1 are (1,12) and (3,4), so there are 2 such pairs. Hence, the number of such pairs is 2.
