Answer 2

Answer:

The HCF of the given numbers is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The numbers are 278, 240, and 360

We have to find the HCF of the above numbers.

• As we know that the greatest common divisor of two or more integers, which are not all zero, is the largest positive integer that divides each of the integers.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The numbers are 278, 240, and 360

First, we will find the factors of the above numbers.

The factors of 240 are: $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240$

The factors of 278 are: $1, 2, 139, 278$

The factors of 360 are: $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360$

From the above, we can see that 2 is the largest positive integer that divides each of the integers.

Then the greatest common factor(HCF) is 2.

In this problem, we are assuming we have to find the HCF of the given numbers.
