Question : The product of the two numbers is 38025 and their highest common factor is 65. What is the least common multiple of these numbers?

Option 1: 455

Option 2: 585

Option 3: 715

Option 4: 435

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 585


Solution : Let the two numbers be $a$ and $b$.
$a \times b = 38025$
$\text{HCF}(a, b) = 65$
We know, $\text{HCF}(a, b) \times \text{LCM}(a, b) = a \times b$
$\therefore\text{LCM}(a, b) = \frac{a \times b}{\text{HCF}(a, b)} = \frac{38025}{65} = 585$
Hence, the correct answer is 585.
