The HCF of two numbers X and Y is
A) x
B) y
C) 1
D) xy

Please solve with full process. ​

Answer 1

Hey There!

The HCF of two numbers X and Y, if they are prime numbers, is option (C) 1.

Since, Prime Numbers are the numbers which are only divisible by 1 and themselves. So, therefore, the number of common factors in X and Y (note that they are prime) is 1.

Hope it works. If doubt you can ask.

Answer 2

Answer:

For Any Prime Number, X and Y

HCF will always be 1. As Prime Numbers have 1 and the number itself as a common factor.

Now, For any Non-Prime Number, X and Y, then none of the give option is correct. As you don't know that what are the factors of X and Y.
