Q. The product of two numbers is 4107. If the H.C.F of these numbers is 37, then the greater number is
β
Correct Answer: (C)
111
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).
Therefore, Greater number = 111.
Now co-primes with product 3 are (1,3)
So, the required numbers are (37 x 1, 37 x 3) i.e, (37,111).
Therefore, Greater number = 111.
