The correct answer is k = 8. To find the missing value, we use the property that the product of two numbers equals the product of their Highest Common Factor and Lowest Common Multiple.Multiply the Highest Common Factor and the Lowest Common Multiple: six multiplied by one hundred eighty equals one thousand eighty.The product of the two numbers must also equal one thousand eighty.Divide one thousand eighty by the given number, eighteen, which gives sixty for the second number.Since the second number is expressed as six times k, divide sixty by six to get ten.Therefore, the value of k is ten.
