Best Answer

The HCF of two numbers is the highest common factor. For example, the highest common factor of 42 and 56 is 14.

Highest common factors can be used for reducing a fraction to its simplest form. Taking the above example, the numerator and denominator of the fraction 42/56 can be divided by 14 to make a fraction 3/4 or three quarters.

you are so right stranger
