Question

HCF of 36,48is ...........................​

Answer 1

Answer:

The HCF of the given numbers is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The numbers are 36 and 48.

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  36 and 48.

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

The factors of 36 are: $1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36$

The factors of 48 are: $1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48$

From the above, we can see that 12 is the largest positive integer that divides each of the integers.

Then the greatest common factor(HCF) is 12.

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