Given:

Product of two numbers = 2028

H.C.F. = 13

Formula Used:

Let the numbers be 13a and 13b, where a and b are co-prime (i.e., H.C.F. of a and b is 1).

Then, 13a × 13b = 2028

Calculation:

13a × 13b = 2028

⇒ 169ab = 2028

⇒ ab = 2028 / 169

⇒ ab = 12

The pairs of co-prime numbers (a, b) such that ab = 12 are (1, 12) and (3, 4).

Thus, the pairs of numbers are (13 × 1, 13 × 12) and (13 × 3, 13 × 4).

These pairs are (13, 156) and (39, 52).

Therefore, the number of such pairs is 1.
