Question

if ’x’ and ‘y’ are primes numbers then hcf of x3y2 and x2y?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x²y

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y are prime numbers (they do not have any factor other than 1 and the number itself.)

To find HCF of any number: The number is first expressed as a product of the prime numbers and then the common factors are segregated for HCF. But, in this case, we are already given the product of primes, therefore we can directly find common factors.

x³y² = x*x*x*y*y

x²y = x*x*y

HCF = x²y
