Answer 2

Answer:

HCF (2, 4, 8, 12 ) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Find the HCF of the following numbers 2, 4, 8, 12 by division method​

step 1

divide 12 (highest number) by 2(smaller number)

       2) 12 (6

            12  

            0    here reminder is 0

=> HCF  (12 , 2)  = 2

step 2  

now divide 8 by 2        

         2) 8 ( 4

            8

            0  here reminder is 0

=> HCF  (8, 2)  = 2

step 3

now divide  4 by 2

                2 ) 4 (2

                    4

                    0

=> HCF (2, 4, 8, 12) =  HCF [( HCF (HCF (2, 12), 8),4 ] = 2
