In this problem, we are assuming that we have to find the HCF of the given data.

Q. Find the HCF of16 \ and\  24.

Given: The numbers are16 \ and\  24.

We have to find the HCF of the above numbers.

As we know that the greatest common divisor(HCF) of two or more integers, which are not all zero, is the largest positive integer that divides each of the integers.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The numbers are16 \ and\  24.

First, we will find the factors of the above numbers.

The factors of 16 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

From the above, we can see that8 divides each of the given numbers.

So, the greatest common factor is8.

Hence, the HCF of the given numbers is8.
