The LCM of 248 and 868 is 1736. What is the HCF?

Correct option is D

Given:

The given two numbers are: 248 and 868
The L.C.M. of two numbers is 1736.
Formula Used:
L.C.M.×H.C.F.= First Number ×Second Number 
Solution:
The given two numbers are: 248 and 868
The L.C.M. of two numbers is 1736.
Let us assume that the H.C.F. of the two numbers is x .
 1736×x =248×868
​$$=>x =\frac{248×868 }{ 1736}$$​​
=> $$x=\frac{248}{2}$$​​
Dividing 248 by 2, we get
=>x=124 , Therefore, the H.C.F. of the given two numbers is 124.
