1) The greastest common factor of x & y is 10
2) The least common multiple of x & y is 180

Thanks,
product of two integers = LCM * GCF

Statement I and II are clearly insufficient alone.

Combining I & II

GCF = 10
LCM = 180

xy = 10*180

Hence C.

Hope this helps.

Is that a formula of sorts? "Product of 2 integers=GCF*LCM?

If it is then it helps a lot! Thanks :D
going big!

GCF * LCM ,
where
GCF = the greatest common factor
LCM = the least common multiple
