Question

If two positive integer a and b are written as a= x⁵y³ and b=x³y⁴, where X,y are prime numbers, then HCF(a,b)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The HCF will be 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given integers a and b are prime numbers, there will be no common factor rather than 1.

So 1 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

so our question say us to find the HCF of a and b having their prime factors in form of x and y .

Now a= X×X×X×X×X×Y×Y×Y

b= X×X×X×Y×Y×Y×Y

HCF is the product of least power of common factors.

The common factors of a and b are x and y

X's least power is 3 and Y's least power is 3

HCF (a,b) = X×X×X ×Y×Y×Y
