In this paper we study the interplay between the range and kernel of Toeplitz and little Hankel operators on the Bergman space. Let $T_\phi$ denote the Toeplitz operator on $L^2_a(\mathbb{D})$ with symbol $\phi \in L^\infty(\mathbb{D})$ and $S_\psi$ denote the little Hankel operator with symbol $\psi \in L^\infty(\mathbb{D}).$ We have shown that if ${\operatorname{Ran}} (T_\phi) \subseteq {\operatorname{Ran}} (S_\psi)$ then $\phi \equiv 0$ and find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive bounded linear operator $X$ defined on the Bergman space such that $T_\phi X=S_\psi$ and ${\operatorname{Ran}} (S_\psi) \subseteq {\operatorname{{\operatorname{Ran}}}} (T_\phi).$ We also obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on $\psi \in L^\infty(\mathbb{D})$ such that ${\operatorname{Ran}} (T_\psi)$ is closed.
Key words: Toeplitz operators, little Hankel operators, Bergman space, inner functions, range and kernel of operators.
