Example: 30 and 42
Factor them.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Select the common factors.
2 x 3 = 6, the GCF
Select the highest amount of each factor.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCM
Check it.
30 x 42 = 1260
210 x 6 = 1260

Yes: product of a & b = LCM x HCF so b = (LCM x HCF)/a
LCM = Product/HCF = 384
In order to find the other number, we can use the relationship between the HCF and LCM. By multiplying the HCF and LCM together and dividing by one of the numbers, we can find the other number. So, (11 * 7700) / 275 = 308. Therefore, the other number is 308.
hcf or gcf. first write the numbers the number can be multiplied to get it,you will have more than one or two numbers and when you see you have the number in a row then look for the highest number in all row .LCM do same as hcf but the numbers you got just multiply.try 2,4,16,24,48 you must get for LCM get 144 and for hcf or gcf you must get 24.
I have been preparing for my GRE and have been practicing similar questions from www.examville.com The other number = HCF * LCM / Given number = 4 * 576 / 64 = 36
