The HCF (highest common factor) is found by splitting each number into its prime factors:
The HCF is then found by mulitplying together the factors that are common to each number:
2 x 3 x 3 = 18
(Because there is only one 2 in 54, only one 2 can be used. The same applies with the number o 3's. There are only two in each number so only 2 can be used).
The GCF is 18.
36, if you are turning it into a fraction you would get 54/36 the smallest you can maek that is 3/2
18 and 36 do. So do 18 and 54, 36 and 54, 18 and 72, 54 and 72, and an infinite number of other pairs of numbers.
36
The GCF is 18.
36It is: 36
36
The GCF is 36.
The GCF is 6.
GCF(36, 54, 72) = 18.
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 72 252 is 504.The Highest Common Factor (HCF) for 72 252 is 36.
