5

6. Also, when one number is divided by the other, the quotient is

2

7. The goal is to find the two numbers.

2. Solution Steps

Let the two numbers be xx and yy, where x>yx > y. From the problem, we have two equations:
xy=9256x - y = 9256 (1)
xy=27\frac{x}{y} = 27 (2)
From equation (2), we can write xx in terms of yy:
x=27yx = 27y (3)
Now, substitute equation (3) into equation (1):
27yy=925627y - y = 9256
26y=925626y = 9256
Divide both sides by 26:
y=925626=356y = \frac{9256}{26} = 356
Now that we have the value of yy, we can find the value of xx using equation (3):
x=27y=27×356=9612x = 27y = 27 \times 356 = 9612
So the two numbers are x=9612x = 9612 and y=356y = 356.

3. Final Answer

The two numbers are 9612 and 356.
