Question

the product of two relatively prime numbers is 143.Find their HCF

Answer 1

Answer:

Prime numbers are those that are multiple of itself and one.

We have been given that the product of two relatively prime numbers is 143

So, we take two prime numbers whose product is 143.

$11\cdot 13=143$

So, the two prime numbers are 11 and 13.

HCF is the highest common factor in both the numbers which exactly divides the number.

So, HCF of the two numbers is  (11,13)=1.
