Question

What is the Hcf of 2,4,10,36

Answer 1

Here is your answer

$\rule{102}{2}$

Highest Common Factor [HCF] is the largest common factor of two or more numbers which divides them equally. The common factors obtained is the HCF of the numbers.

Firstly, we will find the prime factors of the given numbers

2 = 1 * 2

4 = 2 * 2

10 = 2 * 5

36 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

Common factors = 2

∴ HCF of 2, 4, 10 and 36 = 2

Answer 2

ANSWER :-

2

REASON :-

Because it is is smallest factor .


SOLUTION :-

First , we have to check the factors .

2 = 1 , 2

4 = 1 , 2 , 4

10 = 1 , 2 , 5 , 10

36 = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 9 , 12 , 18 , 36

So ,

Common Factors are 1 and 2 .

1 < 2 ( 2 is greater than 1 )

So ,

H.C.F of 2 , 4 , 10 and 36 is 2 .


EXTRA INFORMATION :-

Question :- What is H.C.F ?

Answer :- The H.C.F is actually of two or more numbers is the highest number that divides the numbers exactly.

Question :- What is full form of H.C.F ?

Answer :- Highest Common Factor ( H.C.F )

Question :- How to find H.C.F ?

Answer :- Follow the steps below :

Step 1 -->We divide the bigger number by smaller number.

Step 2 -->Divide smaller number in step 1 with remainder obtained in step 1.

Step 3 -->Divide divisor of second step with remainder obtained in Step 2.

Step 4 -->We will continue this process till we get remainder 0.

After following these steps , We will get H.C.F.
