Question

what is the HCF of 224,336,728

Answer 1

Answer:

The HCF of 224, 336, 728 is 56.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime factorization of 224 is 224 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7.

The prime factorization of 336 is 336 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7.

The prime factorization of 728 is 728 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 13

HCF = Common factors = 2 × 2× 2 × 7 = 56

So,  the HCF of 224, 336, 728 is 56.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence HCF of given number will be 56

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to questions asked

We have to determine the value of HCF of given number

As per questions

We have

Numbers - 224, 336, 728

As we know that

HCF of two or more numbers is that particular number which is highest common factor of given number

So for determining the value of HCF we will prime factorise the given number

Thus we will get

$224=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 7 \\ </p><p>336=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 7\\ </p><p>728=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 7 \times 13 \\ HCF \: (224,336,728) \: = \: 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times =56 \: common \: numbers</p><p></p><p>$
