Number SystemModerateSSC CHSL 2024

The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 2 and 28 respectively. If one of the numbers is 4, what is the other number?

  1. (A)16
  2. (B)14
  3. (C)12
  4. (D)7

Correct answer: (B) 14

For any two numbers, product of the numbers = HCF × LCM. So the other number = (2 × 28) ÷ 4 = 56 ÷ 4 = 14.

Shortcut: Other number = HCF × LCM ÷ given number.
