Question

Hcf of 2396 and 1806

Answer 1

2369=2*2*5099 (by prime factorization)
1086=2*3*3001 (by prime factorization)
Common number is 2
HCF=2

Answer 2

$\bold{HCF \: of \: 2396 \: and \: 1806 \: is \: 2}$


EXPLANATION-


Prime Factorisation Method -

Prime Factorisation Method is all of the prime numbers that multiply to create the original number . It is a method that used to find the factors which are only prime numbers for the given number.


Prime numbers are the numbers which are divisible by 1 and the number itself. Example - 2 , 3 , 5 , 7 etc.


Finding HCF by prime factorisation method -

1806 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 43

2396 = 2 x 2 x 599

Common factor of 1806 and 2396 = 2 .


Hence :

$\bold{HCF \: is \: 2}$
