Find the LCM and HCF of the following pair of integers and verify that LCM X HCF = Product of two numbers :
96 and 404
Given numbers are 96 and 404
The prime factorization of 96 and 404 gives:
96 = 25 × 3 and 404 = 22 × 101
Therefore, the H.C.F of these two integers = 22 = 4
Now, the L.C.M of 96 and 404 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 101 = 9696
Now, we have to verify
![]()
L.H.S = L.C.M × H.C.F = 9696 × 4 = 38784
R.H.S = Product of two numbers = 96 × 404 = 38784
Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S
So, the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM.
