To understand this let's answer the question:
1. the factors of 52 are
= 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52
2. the factors of 320 are
= 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 160, 320
3. the common factors (factors occuring in both) of 52 and 320 are
= 1, 2, 4
4. the common factor of the highest value is
= 4
Therefore, 4 is the HCF (highest common factor) of 52 and 320.
