The sum of two numbers is 384what are the possible numbers if their HCF is 48?
If the two numbers have a hcf of 48 then both numbers must be multiples of 48. 384 ÷ 48 = 8 .........Taking the paired factors of 48 of both numbers then the sum of the other factors = 8 but there can be no other common factor. 1 + 7 = 8, 3 + 5 = 8 are solutions but 2 + 6 = 8 and 4 + 4 = 8 are not, as further common factors of 2 and 4 respectively are present which would increase the hcf to 96 and 192. The numbers are 1 x 48 and 7 x 48 → 48 and 336 and.....................3 x 48 and 5 x 48 → 144 and 240
Can 21 over 48 be simplified?
YES!!! 21/48 . has three as a factor to both numbers. So cancel down by '3' Hence 7/16 This is the simplified form. It will not cancel down any further as neither '7' nor '16' are factors/multiples of each other.
What are prime numbers for 48?
The prime factors of 48 are: 2, 3
