Question

HCF of $527$ and $1271$ is

Answer 1

Prime factorization:

Using the prime factorization

$$\begin{gathered} 527=17\times 31 \\ 1271=31\times 41 \end{gathered}$$

Since factor $31$ is common in both the numbers so, the H.C.F. is $31$.

Hence, the H.C.F. of the numbers $527$ and $1271$ is $31$.
