Question

if a=xy³ and b=x⁴y²z where x and y are prime numbers then HCF of a and b is..?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution

HCF by using the prime factorization method.

Step1:

Find the prime factorization of each of the number

Step2:

The product of all common prime factor is the HCF

Here,

#a =x *x*y* y

# b=x*y*y

common Factors are x * y * y

Thus ,

HCF (a, b) = xy2
