What are the HCF of 54 and 96?
To work out the hcf of two numbers, you first need to break them
down into their prime factors. In this case you'd get:
54 = 2x3x3x3
96 = 2x2x2x2x2x3
The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this
case, both numbers have a 2 and a 3 as prime factors. Multiply
these together and you get 6. Therefore the HCF of 54 and 96 is
6.
