Find a and b such that : GCD(a,b)=14 and LCM(a,b)=280. ( a , b in IN )

OpenStudy (jamesj):

We can write a = 14p and b = 14q where p and q are co-prime. Then 14pq = 280 => pq = 20. Choose p = 4 and q = 5. Then a = 14p = 56 b = 14q = 70 You can verify these values of a and b do indeed have the desired properties.
