Ta có :
a . b = ƯCLN ( a , b ) . BCNN ( a , b )
=> a . b = 12 . 240 =
=> a . b = 2880
Vì ƯCLN ( a , b ) = 12
=> a = 12m
b = 12 . n ( m , n ) = 1
=> a . b = 12m . 12n = 144 . mn = 2880
=> mn = 2880 : 144
=> mn = 20
Ta thấy 20 = 1 . 20 = 2 . 10 = 4 . 5
Vì ( m , n ) = 1
=> ( m , n ) = ( 1 ; 20 ) , ( 20 ; 1 ) , ( 4 ; 5 ) , ( 5 ; 4 )
=> ( a , b ) = ( 12 ; 240 ) , ( 240 ; 12 ) , ( 48 , 60 ) , ( 60 ; 48 )
Vậy ab = ( 12 ; 240 )
= ( 240 ; 12 )
= ( 48 ; 60 )
= ( 60 ; 48 )
