Question

what is the HCF of 32,28​

Answer 1

Answer:

The HCF of 28 and 32 is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the HCF  of 28 and 32,

28 = 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28

32 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

(choose the highest factor that exactly divides both)

Answer 2

In context to question asked,

We have to determine the value of HCF of the given numbers.

As per question,

We have to determine the HCF of 32 and 28.

As we know that,

The HCF of two or more numbers is the value of that highest number which is a common factor of the given number.

So, for determining the value of HCF we will use prime factorisation of the given number.

So, the prime factorisation of given number - 32 and 28 will be,

$32 = 2\times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\\28 = 2\times 2 \times 7\\HCF = (Common\:Numbers) = 2\times 2 = 4$

Hence, value of HCF of 28 and 32 will be 4.
