The LCM of two numbers is 1200.

Question:

The LCM of two numbers is 1200. Show that the HCF of these numbers cannot be 500. Why?

Solution:

If the LCM of two numbers is 1200 then, it is not possible to have their HCF equals to 500.

Since, HCF must be a factor of LCM, but 500 is not a factor of 1200.
