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
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.
