The answer is as follows:
The prime factorisation of the two number is:
18 = 2*3*324 = 2*2*2*3
The HCF is the product every number which appears in both lists (repeated appearances mean repeated inclusion in HCF):
HCF = 2*3 = 6
12 is the highest common factor of 36 and 48.
The highest common factor of two numbers is their highest common factor. The method that is used to find it is irrelevant.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
Two or more numbers are needed to find the HCF
Since both numbers are prime, the only common (and by default, the highest) factor is 1.
Find the highest common factor.
Two or more numbers are needed to find their highest common factor.
12 is the highest common factor of 36 and 48.
The highest common factor of two numbers is their highest common factor. The method that is used to find it is irrelevant.
16 = 2X2X2X2; 24 = 2X2X2X3; therefore, the highest common factor is 23 = 8

You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
You need at least two numbers to find something in common.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
There is no highest COMMON factor of just one number. You need two numbers to find a GCF (Greatest Common Factor).
Find their highest common factor and you can find the answer. Answer: 1/19
