Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

24 = 2*2*2*3

36 = 2*2*3*3

HCF of 24&36 = 2*2*3 = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

The HCF of 24 and 36​ is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The numbers are 24 and 36​.

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 24 and 36​.

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

The factors of 24 are: $1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24$

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

 From the above, we can see that 12 is the highest number among all the common factors of the given numbers.

So, the greatest common factor(HCF) is 12.
