The HCF of 420 and 130 is
HCF is the product of the common factors of the given numbers.
First, we need to find the prime factors of the given numbers:
420=2×2×3×5×7=22×3×7×5
130=2×5×13
So, H.C.F.=2×5=10
Hence, HCF if the given number is 10.
Use Euclid's division algorithm to find HCF of 420 and 130, hence find LCM.
Question 3
HCF of co-prime numbers 4 and 15 was found as follows by factorization: 4=2×2 and 15=3×5. Since there is no common prime factor, so HCF of 4 and 15 is 0. Is the answer correct? If not, what is the correct HCF?
