Or
A factor of a number is a divisor that leave 0 as remainder.
i.e.
- 2 is the factor of every even number 2,4,6,8...
- 3 is the factor of 3,6,9,12..
- 1 is the factor of every number.
HCF or highest common factor is the highest value common factor of two or more numbers.
To find the HCF of 36 and 108:
1. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36.
2. The factors of 108 are 1, 2, 3 , 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, and 108.
Therefore,
3. The common factors of 36 and 108 are 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18 and 36.
So,
4. The common factor of the highest value = 36
Hence, 36 is the HCF of 36 and 108.
