Question

Hcf what is the HCF of 24 and 36 and 60 is

Answer 1

Answer:

12 is the hcf

Step-by-step explanation:

prime factors of 24 are- 2,2,2,3

prime factors of 36 are- 2,2,3,3

prime factors of 60 are- 2,2,3,5

hcf = 2*2*3=12

Answer 2

Given: The numbers are$24,36\ and\ 60$.

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$24,36\ and\ 60$.

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

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

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

The factors of $60$are: $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60$

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

So, the greatest common factor(HCF) is$12$.

Hence, we get the HCF is$12$.
