Question

divison method of 48 22 24​

Answer 1

Answer:

We will discuss here about the method of h.c.f. (highest common factor).

Let us consider two numbers 16 and 24.

Factor of 16 are → 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

Factor of 24 are → 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16

1 × 16, 2 × 8, 4 × 4

1 × 24, 2 × 12, 3 × 8, 4 × 6

We see that the highest common factor of 16 and 24 is 8. In short, the Highest Common Factor is expressed as H.C.F.

Finding H.C.F.

There are three methods of finding H.C.F. of two or more numbers.

1. Factorization Method

2. Prime Factorization Method
