Question

find the hcf of 120 and 300 with an photo. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Factors of 120= (2 X 2X 3X10)

Factors of 300= (2x3x5x10)

Highest Common factors = 2x3x10=60

THus highest common factor by the process of factorization is 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

We make the numbers as a product of factors and find the common factors. Multiplication of these common factors is the highest Common factor.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

$60$

Step-by-step explanation:

• The given numbers are $120$ and $300$.
• We have to find the H.C.F. of these two numbers.
• H.C.F. is the highest common factor of the numbers.
• In order to find the H.C.F., we have to find the factors of the given numbers and then we have to find common factors of both the numbers and the multiplication of common factors will be the H.C.F. of the given numbers.

          $120 = 2*2*2*3*5$

          $300 = 2*2*3*5*5$

• ∴ Common factors of $120$ and $300$ is $2,3$ and $5$.
• ∴ H.C.F. of $120$ and $300$ = $2*3*5$

                                  = $60$
