Question

If if a is equal to 2 square into 3 cube into 5 ^ 4 and b is equal to 2 cube into 3 square into 7 then HCF of a and b is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it helps you.(Hcf)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a = (2)(2) × (3)(3)(3) × (5)(5)(5)(5)

b = (2)(2)(2) × (3)(3) × (7)

The HCF

(Highest common factor) is

(2)(2) × (3)(3)

= 4 × 9

= 36

In HCF we always take the lowest power of a number

lowest power of

2 is 2 = 4

3 is 2 = 9

5 is 0 = 1

7 is 0 = 1

Hence the HCF is 4 × 9 × 1 × 1 = 36

HCF of a and b is 36.
