What is the identity element for a binary operation defined on a set of natural nos such that ab equals HCF of a and b.?

I think it would be the number itself?
If a*b is a binary operation giving HCF,
Then, for example, 15*15 = 15.
Factors of 15 are 1,3,5,15.
So I guess with 2 15's, the HCF = 15.
I hope it's right :)

What is 6x plus 3 equals x plus 8?
This is an equivalence relation that contains elements of the natural numbers together with an element (denoted by the symbol x) that is defined by some extension of N.
Is 87 a natural number?
Since a natural number is defined as a whole, non-negative number, 87 would indeed be a natural number.
Is -a a natural number?
No. Natural numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3 ... If a was defined to be a negative integer, then -a would equal a natural number. But -a is a variable with a sign, not a natural number.
How is a rational number defined?
A rational number is a continuous quantity that is a quotient of two integers in which the second integer is a natural number. Rational numbers include the integers as well as non-integers such as fractions and decimals. Rational numbers are the direct result of the arithmetical operation of division.

What is the difference between an element and a native element?
Elements can either be synthetic or natural. Synthetic elements are made artificially in laboratories, while natural elements exist in their natural state in nature. Natural elements can further be defined as native elements. These elements exist in their uncombined state.
The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that element's?
For the chemical elements the correct expression is atomic weight.This value is the weighted average mass of the natural isotopes of this element.
Why Giuseppe Peano remove the zero to natural numbers?
In 1889 Peano published his version of a set of axioms for arithmetic. In his original version the first natural number was 1, rather than 0. Other natural numbers were defined by the unary "successor" function.Although the exclusion of 0 made little difference for the definition of natural numbers, 0 is also the additive identity of all natural numbers [ n + 0 = n = 0 + n ]. It was easier to develop a consistent theory for the set of natural numbers if this key element was included in the set.
