The HCF of two positive integers is 5 and their LCM is 105. The numbers are
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Let the positive numbers be 5x and 5y.
\( \Large 5x \times 5y = 5 \times 105 \)
\( \Large xy = 21 \)
x = 3, y = 7
Numbers are \( \Large 3 \times 5 \ and \ 7 \times 5\ is\ 15\ and\ 35 \)
HCF of 5 and 105 is 5
LCM of 5 and 105 is 105
The numbers are 15, 35 or 5, 105
