Question

If two positive integers a and b are written as a = x3y2 and b = xy3, where x, y are prime numbers, then HCF(a, b) is *

a) 1 point

b) xy

b) x3y3

c) x2y2

d) xy2​

Answer 1

Answer:

HCF of ab =

a=x^3y^2

b=xy^3

a=x x x y y

b=x y y y

The highest common factors of a and b are x*y*y

Ans=xy^2
