Question

Find the HCF of 54,288,360

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lets solve this question by factorization method.

\begin{aligned}

18 = 2 \times 3^2, 288 = 2^5 \times 3^2, 360 = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5

\end{aligned}

So HCF will be minimum term present in all three, i.e.

\begin{aligned}

2 \times 3^2 = 18

\end{aligned}
