Question

what is the H C F of 17,68 and 119​

Answer 1

Answer:

HCF of 17, 68 and 119=17

Step-by-step explanation:

first we will cancel them b any common number

here the common number between the three is 17

so we will divide each number by 17

• so 17÷17=1
• 68÷17=4
• 119÷17=7
• so we get 1, 4 and 7 which do not have any number in common so 17 is the HCF of 17, 68 and 119

Answer 2

Answer:

HCF: the product of smallest powers of each common prime factors of the number.

17=17×1

68=17×4

119=17×7

In the prime factorisation, 17 is the common prime factor.

So HcF=17
