What is the HCF prime factor of 48 64 and 80?
The only prime factor these numbers share is 2. It is the only prime factor of 64, which is 2 to the 6th power. The hcf is 16, but that is not a prime.
Does the HCF of any two no is always a factor of their LCM?
If two numbers are expressed as ab and cb this is easier to work out. Assume that a and c have no common prime factors. Thus, the HCF of the two numbers will be b. The LCM is the two numbers multiplied by each other, divided by the HCF. So the LCM will be abc. b is a factor of abc, and so the HCF will always be a factor of their LCM.
What is the HCF of 99?
The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 99 is 99. This is because 99 is a prime number, meaning it only has two factors: 1 and 99. Since there are no other common factors between 99 and any other number, the HCF remains 99.
What is the HCF of 42 77 84?
To find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 42, 77, and 84, you first need to find the prime factors of each number. The prime factors of 42 are 2, 3, and 7. The prime factors of 77 are 7 and 11. The prime factors of 84 are 2, 3, and 7. To find the HCF, you need to identify the common prime factors and multiply them together. In this case, the HCF of 42, 77, and 84 is 7.
What are the HCF of 15 and 20?
To find the HCF, you first have to express both numbers as the product of their prime factors: 15 = 3x5 20 = 2x2x5 The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case both numbers have a 5 as a prime factor. Therefore the HCF of 15 and 20 is 5.
