Re: maths

hi mishti

Welcome to the forum.

There are many answers to this (with no loss of generality assume a ≥ b 

LCM = 6     a = 6 b = 6     HCF = 6
LCM = 6     a = 6 b = 3     HCF = 3
LCM = 6     a = 6 b = 2     HCF = 2
LCM = 6     a = 6 b = 1     HCF = 1

LCM = 6     a = 3 b = 2     HCF = 1
