Let smaller number be S

Then larger number = 77 – S

The product of the GCF and the LCM is 1,210 (11 * 110)

Since the product of the GCF and LCM of ANY 2 numbers, equals the product of the 2 numbers, then we can say that:

1,210 = S(77 - S), or S(77 – S) = 1,210





(S – 22)(S – 55) = 0

S, or smaller number = 		     OR		     S = 55 (ignore, as this CANNOT be smaller #)

You can do the check!!
