Answer 2

Before you start solving:

• Composite numbers are numbers which are not prime numbers. This means that they have more than 2 factors.

Smallest composite number = 4

• Similarly, numbers here means the natural numbers which are counting numbers. They start from 1 and continue till Infinity.

Smallest number = 1

• HCF (Highest common factor) or GCF (Greatest common factor) is the highest factor present in both numbers.

Solution:

HCF of smallest composite number and smallest number

= HCF of 4 and 1

★ Factors of 4 = 1, 2, 4

★ Factors of 1 = 1

Here highest common factor

= 1

∴ HCF = 1
