The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is 138, and their greatest common divisor (GCD) is 23. If the two numbers are in the ratio 1:6, what is the larger number?
Explanation
Given the GCD is 23 and the numbers are in the ratio 1:6, let the numbers be 23 × 1 = 23 and 23 × 6 = 138. The larger number is therefore 138.
