OpenStudy (anonymous):

example : find the HCF of 4,6 4= 1,2,4 | ----------factors 6 = 1,2,3,6 | ----------factors greatest common factor is here 2 hence the HCF of 4 and 6 is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 - 1, 2, 4 16 - 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 32 - 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 64- 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 so 4 is the GCF

OpenStudy (anonymous):
