Question

Q1. What is the HCF of the smallest composite number and
the smallest prime number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime number – A prime number is a number which has exactly two factors i.e. it can be divided by only the number ‘1’ and itself.

The smallest prime number is = 2

composite number – A composite number has more than two factors, which means apart from getting divided by number 1 and itself, it can also be divided by at least one integer or number. We don’t consider the number ‘1’ as a composite number.

The smallest composite number is = 4

2 is the factor of 4

∴ H.C.F of the smallest prime number and the smallest composite number is 2.

Answer 2

The HCF of smallest composite no. is 2.
