There is no common factor other than one for the two numbers. Ao, one is itself the HCF of the two numbers.

Answer 2

Answer:

=> 18

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given question, we have to find the HCF of the $234$ and $162$.

Given numbers:-

$234$ and $162$

For solving first we have to find the prime factors,

The prime factor of $234$ is 2, 3, 3, and 13.

The prime factor of $162$ is 2, 3, 3, and 3.

The prime factors $2$, $3$, and $3$ are the most common.

The product of the prime factors that all of the original numbers have in common is the greatest common factor.

GCF = $2\times 2\times 3$

GCF = $2^2\times 3$

GCF = $18$

Hence, the answer is $18.$
