Question

hcf ( highest common factor ) of 222 ,456​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Divide the larger number by the smaller one:

456 ÷ 234 = 1 + 222;

Step 2. Divide the smaller number by the above operation's remainder:

234 ÷ 222 = 1 + 12;

Step 3. Divide the remainder from the step 1 by the remainder from the step 2:

222 ÷ 12 = 18 + 6;

Step 4. Divide the remainder from the step 2 by the remainder from the step 3:

12 ÷ 6 = 2 + 0;

At this step, the remainder is zero, so we stop:

6 is the number we were looking for, the last remainder that is not zero.

This is the greatest common factor (divisor).

Greatest (highest) common factor (divisor):

hcf, (234; 456) = 6

Answer 2

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

   Factors of 222 - 1, 2, 3, 6, 37, 74, 111 and 222.

   Factors of 456 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 19, 24, 38, 57, 76, 114, 152, 228 and 456.

Common factors of 222 and 456 are 1,2,3,6.

Therefore, the highest common factor (HCF) of 222 and 456 is 6.
