Answer :
the H.C.F of the following numbers are 6 .
and hcf is the commom divisor of the following numbers .
and hcf is the commom divisor of the following numbers .
Through prime factorisation:
2|12 2|18 2|36
2|6 3|9 2|18
3 3 3|9
3
12=2×2×3
18=2×3×3
36=2×2×3×3
Take the no. common in all three
i.e.,2×3=6
.·. H.C.F. of 12,18 & 36 is 6.
2|12 2|18 2|36
2|6 3|9 2|18
3 3 3|9
