    The possible numbers are,

    64 and 128 or 64 and 192

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given,

    The greatest common factor of two numbers is 64,

    Let first number = 64x and second number = 64y

    Where,

    GCF (x, y) = 1,

    Now, LCM (64x, 64y) = 64xy,

    According to the question,

    100 < 64xy < 200

    ⇒ 1.5625 < xy < 3.125

    ⇒ xy = 2 or 3 (∵ xy must be a whole number)

    If xy = 2,

    ⇒ x = 1, y = 2 or x = 2, y = 1

    Thus, the numbers are 64 and 128.

    If xy = 3,

    ⇒ x = 1, y = 3 or x = 3, y = 1

    Thus, the numbers are 64 and 192.
