we know that the addition of two numbers is divisile by their HCF

So if H is the HCF of the given numbers then H divides the sum 52.

so H is a factor of 52

also H must be a factor of the LCM.(as the hcf of two numbers has to be a factor of their lcm)

so H must be the hcf of 52 and 168

so H=4

product of two numbers= product of hcf and lcm

let one number be x, so the other number must be 52-x

so

x(52-x)=4 x 168

(x-24)(x-28)=0

x=24 or 28
