Question

if a and b are two positive integers such that a =14b . find the hcf of a and b

Answer 1

hcf - highest common factor

The HCF is b,as b is the factor of a

Answer 2

HI

AIM : If a and b are two positive integers such that a =14b . find the hcf of a and b

a and b are two positive integers such that a =14b

SO

NOW WE HAVE TO FIND THE HCF OF 14B AND B

14B = B*B*B.*...................14 TIMES

B = B

HCF = B

As a=14b then 

14b=b×14+0

SO HCF = B

:0
