An HCF of 5 means that the numbers have a common prime factor of 5, but nothing else. A LCM of 60 means the numbers have between them the factors 2, 2, 3 and 5. The 2s cannot be split or the HCF would be higher, so both must go to one number. Assuming the numbers aren't just 60 and 5, the three must go to the other number, giving us:

3x5 and 2x2x5

=15 and 20
