I'm working on some review problems in Math and having trouble on the critical thinking one. The question says is it possible for 2 numbers to have the same LCM and GCF? Explain. I'm not sure where to begin on this. I know how to do both types of problems but don't know how to apply it to this problem. Thanks...

Typically for two numbers A and B for which we have found the LCM and HCF. The general formula is that A*B = LCM*HCF Can you find A and B such that LCM=HCF?
