You find the HCF of the two numbers, not their product.
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 HCF

Yes: product of a & b = LCM x HCF so b = (LCM x HCF)/a
As a product of its prime factors: 2*5*7 = 70 Note that at least two or more numbers are needed to find their HCF
Yes.
The LCM is the product of the two numbers divided by their HCF. With 12 and 13, the HCF is 1. Therefore, the LCM will equal the product. With 12 and 14, the HCF is 2. Therefore, the LCM will be half of the product.
there cannot be any nos like that.. product of 2 odd nos is odd.. sum of two even nos is even.. that multiplied by six is even too.. subtracting 2 from that also gives an even no.. let x and y be the odd integers. according to the given question xy=6(x+y)-2..here we r actually equatin an odd no and an even no.. which is wrong.. so there cant be any two consecutive odd nos that fit in the question
