If d=HCF (48, 72) the value of d is

1.	If d=HCF (48, 72) the value of d is
Answer» We have,48= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 2^4 × 372 = 2 × 2 × 2 ×b3 × 3 =2^3 × 3^2d = HCF(48,72) = 2^3 × 3 =2×2×2×3 =24Therefore, the value of d=24 d=24 If d is the hcf of 48 and 72 so the value of d will be the hcf of laterfactor of 48 is2,3,4,6,8,12,24 and 48factor of 72 is2,3,4,6,8,9,12,24,36 and 72so the hcf is 24 and d= 24
