The problem involves finding the product of the Highest Common Factor (HCF) and the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of two numbers, given their ratio and the difference between them.
Let the HCF of the two numbers be $H$ and the LCM be $L$.
We are given that the ratio of HCF to LCM is 1:30. This can be written as:
$ \frac{H}{L} = \frac{1}{30} $
This implies that $L = 30H$.
We are also given that the difference between the LCM and HCF is 493:
$ L - H = 493 $
Substitute $L = 30H$ into the difference equation:
$ 30H - H = 493 $
$ 29H = 493 $
Now, solve for $H$:
$ H = \frac{493}{29} $
$ H = 17 $
So, the HCF is 17.
Now, calculate the LCM using $L = 30H$:
$ L = 30 \times 17 $
$ L = 510 $
The LCM is 510.
The question asks for the product of the LCM and HCF.
Product = $L \times H$
Product = $510 \times 17$
Product = $8670$
