Question

find the HCF of 72 108 by using prime factorization method​

Answer 1

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

72=2*2*2*3*3

108=2*2*3*3*3

the HCF is the common part between the two numbers which is 2*2*3*3 which is equal to 36

Answer 2

Answer :

HCF of 72 and 108

By using prime factorization methods

72 = 2^3 * 3^2

108 = 2^2 * 3^3

So therefore, HCF = 2*2*3*3 = 36
