Answer 1

Answer:

HCF (170,238)=2 ......

Answer 2

Answer:

The HCF of 170 and 238​​ is 34.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The numbers are 170 and 238​​.

We have to find the HCF of the above numbers.

• As we know, the HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two or more numbers is the highest number among all the common factors of the given numbers.
• HCF is also known as the greatest common factor.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The numbers are 170 and 238​​.

First, we will find the factors of the above numbers.

The factors of 170 are: $1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 34, 85, 170$

The factors of 238 are: $1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238$

 From the above, we can see that 34 is the highest number among all the common factors of the given numbers.

So, the greatest common factor(HCF) is 34.
