the numbers must be a multiple of 32 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192 The square of one of the numbers multiples of 32: 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192 multiples of 64: 64, 128, 192 the lowest common multiple of Greatest common factor of Your numbers are 64 and 96
In this method divide the largest number by the smallest number of the given numbers until the remainder is zero. The last divisor will be the HCF of given numbers. Divide the largest by the smallest: The Remainder is already 0, so the HCF is 32 (the last divisor). PRIME FACTORIZATION METHOD
Write as product of prime factors: Lowest common degree of 2 is 5 and the degree (exponent) for 3 is zero. The HCF is 25*30 = 25*1 = 32. |
