Question

Find the HCF of 60, 96 and 144. (Use long division method)

Answer 1

Prime factors of 60 = 22 . 3 . 5

Prime factors of 96 = 25 . 3

Prime factors of 144 = 24 . 32

hope it helps u

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First the h.c.f of 60 and 96 is (by long division method)

$96 = 60 \times 1 + 36$

$60 = 36 \times 1 + 24$

$36 = 24 \times 1 + 12$

$24 = 12 \times 1 + 0$

SO, it's H.C.F is 12

Then,

H.C.F of 12 and 144 is the H.C.F of 144, 96 and 60

therefore ,

H.C.F of 12 and 144 is

$144 = 12 \times 12 + 0$

THE H.C.F OF 60,96 AND 144 IS 12
