Question

240,384and 1296 find the h.c.f by division method

Answer 1

Hello !!

For you answer this question, you only need make use of this method below. See the resolution below.

$\begin{array}{r|l}240,384,1296&2\\120,192,648&2\\60,96,324&2\\30,48,162&2\\15,24,81&3\\5,8,27\end{array}$

Now, you calculate the highest common factor.

HCF = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

HCF = 4 × 4 × 3

HCF = 16 × 3

HCF = 48

Final result : 48 is the highest common factor.

I hope I have collaborated !
