Answer 2

Answer:

The HCF of 18, 32, and 48 is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The numbers are 18, 32, and 48.

We have to find the HCF of the above numbers.

• As we know that, the HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two or more numbers is the highest number among all the common factors of the given numbers.
• HCF is also known as the greatest common factor.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The numbers are 18, 32, and 48.

First, we will find the factors of the above numbers.

The factors of 18 are: $1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18$

The factors of 32 are: $1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32$

The factors of 48 are: $1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48$

From the above, we can see that 2 is the highest number among all the common factors of the given numbers.

So, the greatest common factor(HCF) is 2.
