Answer:

HCF is 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two numbers 2048 and 960.

we have to find the HCF of above two numbers.

Step 1 : To find the Prime factorization of 2048.

$2048 = 2\times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2$

Step 2 : To find the Prime factorization of 960

$960 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5$

Step 3 : Multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers which is highest common factor.

$HCF = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2=64$

Hence, HCF is 64.
