Problem : 1 / 11 [ HCF_LCM ]       Enter your problem
1. The HCF of two numbers is 14 and their LCM is 11592 . If one of the numbers is 504 , find the other?
Solution: `"Here, HCF"=14, "LCM"=11592, "No1"=504 and "No2"=?`

`"No1" * "No2" = "HCF" * "LCM"`

`"No2 "= ( "HCF" * "LCM" ) / ("No1") = ( 14 * 11592 ) / 504 = 322`.
