Question

If two position integer a and b are written as a=x3y2 and b=xy2 find the hcf of a and b

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a = x³y² = $x * x * x * y * y$

b = xy²  = $x * y * y$

HCF (a, b) = $x * y * y$ = xy²

Answer 2

Answer:

xy²  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a=x³y² and b=xy²  

HCF of a and b is equal to b as b is divisor of both a and b:

HCF(a,b)= xy²
