Question

Find HCF of 24 and 36

Answer 1

24= 2x2x2x3
36= 2x2x3x3
HCF = 2x2x3 (common pairs of factors)
        = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

As we know that the HCF is the highest common factor i.e the highest common number which divides two or more numbers. Here we will use Euclid's division lemma to the above question and we will get the answer. Thus the HCF of 24 and 36 is 12.
