Question

find the H.C.F of the following numbers. (a)18,60. (b)34,102. (c)36,84. (d)12,45,75. (e)18,54,81​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Factors of 18 = 2 x 3 x 3

Factors of 48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

H.C.F. (18, 48) = 2 x 3 = 6

Therefore the HCF of 18, 48 is 6

(b) Factors of 30 = 2 x 3 x 5

Factors of 42 = 2 x 3 x 7

H.C.F. (30, 42) = 2 x 3 = 6

Therefore the HCF of 30, 42 is 6

(c) Factors of 18 = 2 x 3 x 3

Factors of 60 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

H.C.F. (18, 60) = 2 x 3 = 6

Therefore the HCF of 18, 60 is 6

(d) Factors of 27 = 3 x 3 x 3

Factors of 63 = 3 x 3 x 7

H.C.F. (27, 63) = 3 x 3 = 9

Therefore the HCF of 27, 63 is 9

(e) Factors of 36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

Factors of 84 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 7

HCF of (36, 84) =2 × 2 × 3 = 12

Therefore the HCF of 36, 84 is 12

(f) Factors of 34 = 2 x 17

Factors of 102 = 2 x 3 x 17

H.C.F. (34, 102) = 2 x 17 = 34

Therefore the HCF of 34, 102 is 34

(g) Factors of 70 = 2 x 5 x 7

Factors of 105 = 3 x 5 x 7

Factors of 175 = 5 x 5 x 7

HCF = 5 × 7 = 35

Therefore the HCF of 70, 105, 175 is 35

 

(h) Factors of 91 = 7 x 13

Factors of 112 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7

Factors of 49 = 7 x 7

H.C.F. = 1 x 7 = 7

Therefore the HCF of 70, 105, 175 is 35

Therefore the HCF of 91, 112, 49 is 7

(i) Factors of 18 = 2 x 3 x 3

Factors of 54 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3

Factors of 81 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3

H.C.F. = 3 x 3 = 9

Therefore the HCF of 18, 54, 81 is 9

(j) Factors of 12 = 2 x 2 x 3

Factors of 45 = 3 x 3 x 5

Factors of 75 = 3 x 5 x 5

H.C.F. = 1 x 3 = 3

Therefore the HCF of 12, 45, 75 is 3
