Answer 1

Answer:

• The factors of 40 and 60 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60
• GCF of 40 and 60 is 20.

Answer 2

Answer:

To find : highest common factor of 40 and 60.

HCF of 40 and 60 is the divisor that we get when the remainder becomes 0 after doing long division repeatedly.

Steps to follow to find HCF

Step 1: Divide lager number by smaller number i.e. 60  by 40. We get 20 as remainder.

Step 2: Since the remainder ≠ 0, we will divide the divisor of step 1 i.e. (40) by the remainder (20).

Step 3: Repeat this process until the remainder = 0.

The corresponding divisor obtained is the required HCF

Hence  20 is the HCF of 40 and 60.
