Question

Using prime factorization method, find the HCF of $3,192$ and $14,280$

Answer 1

Finding HCF of $3,192$ and $14,280$

Prime Factors of $3,192$ $=2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 7\times 19$

Prime Factors of $14,280$ $=2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 5\times 7\times 17$

Common Factors of $3,192$ and $14,280$ are $2,2,2,3,$ and $7$

Hence, the HCF of $3,192$ and $14,280$ is $2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 7=168$
