The product of two numbers is 4107. If the H.C.F. of these numbers is 37, then the greater number is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 37a and 37b.
Then, 37a x 37b = 4107
ab = 3.
Now, co-primes with product 3 are (1, 3).
So, the required numbers are (37 x 1, 37 x 3) i.e., (37, 111).
Greater number = 111.

Co prime means not get co-prime (1, 3).

x*y = 4107.
Hcf of two nums is 37. So these two nums are divisible by 37.
37x*37y = 4107.
37(x*y) = 4107.
x*y = 4107/37 = 111.

37(x*y) = 4107.
x*y = 4107/37 = 111.

How we come to know that in this question we have to find LCM, in the question we have to find the greater number? please.

Assume Two numbers p and q.
Multiply them with 37.
37p*37p.
Now, 37p*37p = 4107.
1369pq = 4107.
pq = 4107/1369.
pq = 3.
Multiply them with 37.
37p*37p.
Now, 37p*37p = 4107.
1369pq = 4107.
pq = 4107/1369.
pq = 3.

We know that;
H.C.F * L.C.M = product of two numbers.
37* x = 4107,
x=4107/37,
x = 111.
H.C.F * L.C.M = product of two numbers.
37* x = 4107,
x=4107/37,
x = 111.

For a*b =3. So.
1*3 =3.
And.
3*1 = 3.
(May be a=1 then b=2).
(May be b=1 then a=2).
Then how you are deviating to 1, 2 and 2, 1? Please tell me.
1*3 =3.
And.
3*1 = 3.
(May be a=1 then b=2).
(May be b=1 then a=2).
Then how you are deviating to 1, 2 and 2, 1? Please tell me.

Here for ab=3, its possibilities are (1, 2) & (2, 1) Only right?
Please, anyone, help me.
