Question

find hcf 68 and 119​

Answer 1

Answer:  The required H.C.F. is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the H.C.F. of 68 and 119.

We know that

H.C.F. stands for the highest common factor.

The prime factorization of 68 and 117 is as follows :

$68=2\times 2\times17,\\\\117=13\times17.$

Therefore, the required H.C.F. of 68 and 117 will be

$H.C.F.(68,117)=17.$

Thus, the required H.C.F. is 17.
