Question

Find the greatest number that will exactly divide 264 and 793

Answer 1

793 = 264 × 3 + 1
264 = 1 × 264 + 0
Therefore, HCF = 1.

Answer 2

The greatest number that will exactly divide "264 and 793 is one(1)".

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

264 and 793

To find,  the greatest number that will exactly divide 264 and 793 = ?

$264=1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 11$ and

$793=1\times 13\times 16$

The common factor of 264 and 793 = 1

∴ The HCF of  264 and 793 = 1

Hence, the greatest number that will exactly divide "264 and 793 is one(1)".
