Question

The hcf of 52 and 130 is

Answer 1

52 = 2×2×13

130 = 2×5×13

hcf = 2×13 =26

Answer 2

Given,

The terms for HCF (Highest Common Factor) are 52 and 130

To find,

The result of HCF of the given numbers.

Solution,

To find,the HCF or the Highest Common Factor of the given numbers (HCF is only possible for multiple numbers) we have to do the following mathematical calculations.

At first,we need to calculate all the factors the given numbers :

52 = 2×2×13

130 = 2×13×5

Now,we have to find out the common factors of the two numbers. In this case,the common factors are 2 and 13.

At last,we have to multiply the common factors to get the HCF

HCF = 2×13 = 26

Hence,the HCF of 52 and 130 is 26.
