| 23. | Find the highest common factor of 36 and 84. |
|||||||
Answer: Option C Explanation: 36 = 22 x 32 84 = 22 x 3 x 7

H.C.F. = 22 x 3 = 12.| Prasanna said: (Jun 8, 2010) | |
| I cant understand how this problem has solved ? actually what is the procedure ? tell me | |

| firstly find the prime factors of both the numbers then choose the common prime numbers whose power is less tats the hcf |

| 36/2=18 18/2=9 9/3=3 3/3=1 that is 2*2*3*3 similarly for 86 and then take comman prime between them and then multiply as above |

| H.C.F OF 36 AND 84 is 12 so common factor is 12 | |
| Rajkumar said: (Jul 16, 2011) | |
| Similarly 84/2=42 42/2=21 21/3=7 Then we have to take the common on both sides i.e from 2*2*3*2 and 2*2*3*7. thus 2*2*3=12. Hence the answer is obtained. |

| H.C.F OF 36 AND 84 is 36)84(2 72 -- 12)36(3 36 --- X so H.C.F=12. |
|

| Simple method: 84-36 = 48. 48-36 = 12. HCF = 12. |

| 36 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3. 84 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 7. The common values are 2 * 2 * 3 = 12. |

| How 12 come? HCF should b 6 na? | |
| Vikash said: (Apr 14, 2018) | |
| 36= (2)x(2)x(3)x3, 84= (2)x(2)x(3)x7, Then take the pair that is common; 2x2x3=12. |
|
| Syed Sheraz Haider said: (Dec 12, 2018) | |
| 36= 1*2*3*4*6*9*12*18. 84=1*2*3*4*6*12*14*21. So, the HCF is 12. |
