Question

hcf of 296,185,111
find the hcf

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solved my prime factorization

The factors of 111 are: 1, 3, 37, 111

The factors of 185 are: 1, 5, 37, 185

The factors of 296 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 37, 74, 148, 296

GCF/HCF=37

Answer 2

Given: The numbers are$296,185,\ and\ 111$.

We have to find the HCF of the above numbers.

As we know that the greatest common divisor(HCF) 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$296,185,\ and\ 111$.

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

The factors of $111$ are: $1, 3, 37, 111$

The factors of $185$ are: $1, 5, 37, 185$

The factors of $296$are: $1, 2, 4, 8, 37, 74, 148, 296$

From the above, we can see that$37$ divides each of the given numbers.

Then the greatest common factor(HCF) is$37$.

Hence, the HCF of the given numbers is$37$.
