________________________________

HOW? LETS FIND OUT ❤

→The HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR (HCF) should be 1 bcos A prime number is a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself.

→lets take 7 as an example, 7 is only divisible by 1 and 7

7/7 = 1 , 7/1 =7

→lets take two prime numbers as example here 7 and 11

→lets find the HCF.

→FACTORS OF 7 are 1 and 7

→FACTORS OF 11 are 1 and 11 similarly,

7 = 1 x 7

11 = 1 x 11

→here the only common factor is 1

TXN FOR THE QUESTION SWEETIE❣
