Question

using the common factor method find the HCF of 16 and 35

Answer 1

16 = 2*2*2*2

35 = 5*7

HCF(16,35) = Product of smallest index power of each common factor.

Since,

the above numbers don't have any common factor other than 1

=> HCF of 16 and 35 is 1.

Answer 2

Answer:

HCF(16,35)

16=2*2*2*2*1

35=5*7*1

HCF=PRODUCT OF common factor

HCF(16,35)=1
