Question

HCF of 24 and 36 by prime factorization method.

Answer 1

Answer:

HCF of 24 and 36 =

12

Step-by-step explanation:

HCF of 24 and 36 by prime factorization method :-

first we will get the prime factors of both numbers :-

24 = 2×2×2×3

36 = 2×2×3×3

then write down the numbers which are available in both number's factors :-

24 = 2×2×2×3

36 = 2×2×3×3

underlined numbers(2,2,3) are available in both.

We will multiply the underlined numbers (numbers available in both) :-

2×2×3 =

12

so the HCF of 24 and 36 is 12.

hope it helps.
