Question

find the HCF of 24,36,48

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step1:- find prime factors of 24, 36, 48 .

e.g. Prime factors of 24 = 1× 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Prime factors of 36 = 1 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

Prime factors of 48 = 1 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Step2 :- find common factors .

e.g. Common factors = 1 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

we know, HCF is the highest common factors

Or HCF { 24, 36, 48} = common factors{24, 36, 48} = 12

Hence, HCF of 24, 36, 48 = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

12 is the required HCF of 24 , 36 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Given in the question, 24 , 36 and 48.

• HCF - The greatest number that divides each of the two or more numbers is known as the HCF, or highest common factor.

• The Greatest Common Measure (GCM) and Greatest Common Divisor are other names for HCF.

Step 1:

Factor of 24 = 1 ×2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Factor of 36 = 1 ×2 ×2 ×3× 3

Factor of 48 = 1 ×2 × 2× 2 × 2× 3

Common factor between 24 , 36 and 48 are 1, 2,2and 3

So, the HCF of 24 , 36 , 48  = 1 ×2 × 2× 3 = 12.

Final answer:

Hence,  12 is the HCF of 24,36 and 48.
