Answer 1

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the prime factorization of 96

96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Find the prime factorization of 128

128 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

To find the GCF, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:

Therefore, GCF = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

GCF = 32

Answer 2

Answer:

96 :- 3×2×2×2×2×2

128:- 2×2×2×2×2×2×2

HCF = 2×2×2×2×2= 32
