Question

Find the HCF of $96$ and $404$.

Answer 1

By Prime factorisation method, prime factors of $96$ and $404$ are:

$96=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3$

$404=2\times 2\times 101$

HCF = Product of common primes factors in given numbers.

$\therefore$ HCF of $96$ & $404$ = $2\times 2=4$
