Two numbers are in the ratio 14 : 19 and their HCF is 9. Find their LCM.

1. 2394
2. 3990
3. 1596
4. 3192

Correct answer: 2394

Solution

Since the ratio is 14:19 and HCF is 9, the two numbers are 14x9=126 and 19x9=171. Because 14 and 19 share no common factor, LCM = HCF x 14 x 19 = 9 x 266 = 2394.
