Question

what is the hcf of 48 and 84​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the prime factorization of 48

48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Find the prime factorization of 84

84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7

To find the HCF, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:

Therefore, HCF = 2 × 2 × 3

GCF = 12      

hope it helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept= HCF

Given = Two Digits

To Find= HCF of two digits

Explanation=

We have been the question as what is the HCF of 48 and 84.

Numbers are 48 and 84.

HCF= Highest Common Factor

HCF is the greatest common number that divides both the numbers completely.

It is the initial common factor of the digits given.

To find HCF we first write the individual factors of the given numbers and then take out the common numbers and multiply them which gives us the common factor of the digits provided or the HCF.

Factors of:

48= 2x2x2x2x2

84= 2x2x3x7

Here we see that 2,2 and 3 are the common factors occurring in both the numbers. So we write the HCF as

2x2x3= 12.

Therefore the HCF of 48 and 84 is 12.
