Question

HCF of 3026 and 36312​

Answer 1

Given,

The main numbers are = 3026 and 36312

To find,

The HCF or Highest Common Factor of the main numbers.

Solution,

We can easily solve this mathematical problem by the prime factorization method.

Now, it can be observed that, the second number is divisible by the first number. This will help us a lot in the prime factorization and we don't need to calculate the large series of prime factors.

Prime factorization :

3026 = 3026 × 1

36312 = 3026 × 12

Common factor = 3026

HCF = 3026

Hence, the HCF is 3026.
