Best Answer

To find the HCF of two numbers you first have to write them as their prime factors:

14 = 2x7

42 = 2x3x7

The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case both numbers have a 2 and a 7 as prime factors. Multiply these together and you get:

2x7 = 14

Thus the HCF of 14 and 42 is 14.
