Question

Q3:
HCF of 2 and 12 is
O a) 12
Ob) 24
Oc) 2

Answer 1

Hello, how are you?

Well, here you can solve this question (that the statement of the same ask for we find the highest common factor of 2 and 12) using the method of the prime factorization. See the resolution of the same below in the practice.

$\begin{array}{r|l}2,12&2\\1,12\end{array}$

Now, that you factored both by 2 we will find the highest common factor.

$\boxed{\mathsf{HCF=2}}$

Therefore, with all this conjecture that make with objective of find the highest common factor of 2 and 12 we have that the the highest common factor is 2.

Important note : For you to use this method, both number need to be divisible by the same number, how can see 2 and 12 are divisible by 2.
