Question

HCF of 3x^2 and 8xy is​

Answer 1

Answer:

xy.

Step-by-step explanation:

HCF of monomials = HCF of coefficients × HCF of literal coefficients.

HCF of coefficients (3, 8) is 1.                     -- [ 1 ]

HCF of literal coefficients (x², xy),

The lowest power of x is x.

The lowest power of y is y.

HCF of literal coefficients is xy.                  -- [ 2 ]

From [ 1 ] & [ 2 ],

HCF of above monomials is 1xy i.e. xy.

Ans: xy.
