Answer: 7 and 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two whole numbers be x and y.
From the question given, we can form an equation as:
x × y = 294 ........ i
x/y = 6 .......... ii
From equation ii
x/y = 6
x = 6y
Put the value of x back into equation i
x × y = 294
6y × y = 294
6y² = 294
y² = 294/6
y² = 49
y = ✓49
y = 7
Since x × y = 294 and y = 7,
x = 294/7
x = 42
The numbers are 7 and 42.
