Answer 1

the correct answer is 48.

Answer 2

Answer:

The HCF of  144 and 192​​ is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The numbers are 144 and 192​​.

We have to find the HCF of the above numbers.

• As we know, the HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two or more numbers is the highest number among all the common factors of the given numbers.
• HCF is also known as the greatest common factor.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The numbers are 144 and 192​.

First, we will find the factors of the above numbers.

The factors of 144 are: $1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 144$

The factors of 192 are: $1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 192$

 From the above, we can see that 48 is the highest number among all the common factors of the given numbers.

So, the greatest common factor(HCF) is 48.
