Find the H.C.F of by Prime Factorization method .
Finding the H..C.F. by prime factorization:
Highest Common factor ( H.C.F. ) of two natural numbers is the largest common factor ( or divisor ) of the given numbers.
Prime Factorization of given numbers are :
Notice that 2 occurs as a common prime factor two times in the prime factors of given numbers. Therefore,
Hence, H.C.F. of is .
