Correct Answer - Option 1 : 12
GIVEN:
The numbers are 36 and 84
CONCEPT USED:
The Highest Common Factor (H.C.F) is the highest number which is common out of it's total Prime factorization
CALCULATION:
The numbers are 36 and 84
⇒ 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
⇒ 84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7
⇒ The highest common Factor = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12
∴ The H.C.F of the numbers 36 and 84 is 12
