To find the HCF of two numbers you first need to break them down into their prime factors. In this case we get:

36 = 2x2x3x3

48 = 2x2x2x2x3

The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case, both numbers have two 2s and a 3 as prime factors. Multiply these together and you get 12. Therefore, the HCF of 36 and 48 is 12.
