The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we can use the relationship between the Highest Common Factor (HCF), Lowest Common Multiple (LCM), and the two numbers. The formula is: \[ \text{HCF} \times \text{LCM} = \text{First Number} \times \text{Second Number} \] Given: - HCF = 6 - LCM = 108 - First Number = 12 - Second Number = ? We need to find the second number. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write down the formula**: \[ \text{HCF} \times \text{LCM} = \text{First Number} \times \text{Second Number} \] 2. **Substitute the known values into the formula**: \[ 6 \times 108 = 12 \times \text{Second Number} \] 3. **Calculate the left side**: \[ 648 = 12 \times \text{Second Number} \] 4. **Isolate the Second Number**: To find the Second Number, divide both sides by 12: \[ \text{Second Number} = \frac{648}{12} \] 5. **Perform the division**: \[ \text{Second Number} = 54 \] Thus, the other number is **54**. ### Final Answer: The other number is **B. 54**.
