What is HCF of 8 and 64?

Answer 1

To do this you first need to split the numbers up into their prime factors:

8 = 2x2x2

64 = 2x2x2x2x2x2

The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case both numbers have three 2s as prime factors. Multiply these together:

2x2x2 = 8

Thus the HCF of 8 and 64 is 8.

Answer 2

Ah, the Highest Common Factor, isn't that a happy little thing to ponder? If we look at 8 and 64, we can see that the largest number that divides both of them evenly is 8. So, the HCF of 8 and 64 is 8. Just like in painting, sometimes the simplest answer is the most beautiful.

Answer 3

Oh, dude, the highest common factor (HCF) of 8 and 64 is 8. It's like the biggest number that you can divide both 8 and 64 by without any remainders. So, yeah, 8 is the HCF. Cool, right?
