Question

If two positive integers a and b are written as � = �* �) and � = ��*; �, � are prime
numbers, then HCF (a, b) is

Answer 1

$1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given, \: a \: \: and \: \: b \: \: are \: \: prime \: \: numbers\\then, \: \: \: \: a = 1 \times a \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: b = 1 \times b \\ \therefore \: HCF(a,b)=1$
