What is the HCF of 12 and 60?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 12 and 60 is 12. To find the HCF, you need to determine the largest number that divides both 12 and 60 without leaving a remainder. In this case, 12 is the largest number that can evenly divide both 12 and 60, making it the HCF.
