Given a number A and L.C.M and H.C.F. The task is to determine the other number B.
Examples:
Input: A = 10, Lcm = 10, Hcf = 50. Output: B = 50 Input: A = 5, Lcm = 25, Hcf = 4. Output: B = 20
Formula:
A * B = LCM * HCF
B = (LCM * HCF)/A
Example : A = 15, B = 12
HCF = 3, LCM = 60
We can see that 3 * 60 = 15 * 12.How does this formula work?
Since HCF divides both the numbers, let.
A = HCF * x
B = HCF * y
Note that x and y are not common factors, so LCM must include HCF, x and y.
So we can conclude.
LCM = HCF * x * y
So LCM * HCF = HCF * x * y * HCF which is equal to A * B
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
B = 1
Time Complexity: O(1)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
