Answer 1

Following are the steps for getting the answer:

Given:

The number 25,175

To find:

HCF 25,175

Solution:

we have to find the HCF of 25,175

so,

we will find the factor of 25 and 175

then, the highest common factor will be HCF of 25 and 175

the factor of 25: 1, 5,25

The factor of 75:1,5,75

5 is the  Highest common factor

thus, the HCF of 25 and 175 is 5.

Answer 2

Given,

The HCF of $25$ and $175$

HCF (Highest common factor): The highest number that can be divided exactly into each of two or more numbers.

We have to write prime factors of given numbers

$25=5\times5$

$175=5\times5\times7$

We have to take highest common factor of both numbers

HCF of  $25$ and $175$ $=5$

Therefore, the HCF of  $25$ and $175$ is $5$.
