To find the HCF of two numbers you first need to express them as the product of their prime factors:
12 = 2x2x3
60 = 2x2x3x5
The next step is to identify any common factors. In this case, both numbers have two 2s and a 3 as prime factors.
Multiply these together and you get 2x2x3=12
Thus the HCF of 12 and 60 is 12.
The HCF of 12 and 60 is 12
The GCF is 12.
The GCF is 12.
The GCF is 12.
12
12
It is: 12
12
12
It is 12
The hcf of 60 and 72 is 12
HCF(25, 60) = 5 So 25/60 = 5/12 (dividing both by their HCF).
