Question

Find the HCF of 18.36 and 44

Answer 1

In this problem, we are assuming we have to find the HCF of the numbers$18,36,\ and\ 44$.

Q. Find the HCF of the numbers$18,36,\ and\ 44$.

Given: The numbers are$18,36,\ and\ 44$.

We have to find the HCF of the above numbers.

As we know that the greatest common divisor of two or more integers, which are not all zero, is the largest positive integer that divides each of the integers.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The numbers are$18,36,\ and\ 44$.

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

The factors of 18 are: $1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18$

The factors of 36 are: $1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36$

The factors of 44 are: $1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44$

From the above concept, we can see that$2$ is the largest positive integer that divides each of the integers.

Then the greatest common factor(HCF) is$2$.

Hence, we get$HCF=2$.
