Answer :

Let the other number be a

Given:
L
C
M
+
H
C
F
=
600

LCM =14 HCF


14
H
C
F
+
H
C
F
=
600



15
H
C
F
=
600



H
C
F
=
40



L
C
M
=
14
×
40
=
560



Since HCFxLCM=Product of 2 numbers


=>
40
×
560
=
280
×
a



a
=
(40
×
560)/
280



a
=
40
×
2



a
=
80



hence the other number is
80
.
