Question

find the hcf of monomials-12p, -108​

Answer 1

Answer:

-12p=-12×p

-108=-12×9

Therefore, H.C.F(-+2p,-108)=-12

Answer 2

Answer:

===>> Practice the worksheet on H.C.F. of monomials. The questions are based on finding the highest common factor of two or more monomials.

===>> We know, the highest common factor (H.C.F.) of two or more monomials is the monomial of highest dimensions which divides each of them without remainder.

For example:

===>> The highest common factor of m6, m5, m4, m3, m2 is m2.

→ If the monomials have numerical coefficients, find by Arithmetic their greatest common measure, and prefix it as a coefficient to the algebraical highest common factor.

» For example: The highest common factor of 14m4a3b, 21m2a4b and 35m3ab4 is 7m2ab; for it consists of the product of:

(i) the greatest common measure of the numerical coefficients;

(ii) the highest power of each letter which divides everyone of the given expressions.
