Division Help

1. List all the numbers.
2. Take smallest common prime factor.
3. Place it on the left.
4. Divide each number.
5. Write quotients below.
6. Continue until no common factors.
7. Multiply factors on left for HCF.

What is Division?

The division method for finding the Highest Common Factor involves dividing the given numbers by their common factors until there are no common factors left. The HCF is then determined by multiplying these common factors.

Solved Examples

Examples

Example 1: Find the HCF of 18, 27 and 36.
Solution:
Divide the given numbers with least common prime number.
Keep dividing until common factor is present.
So, list of divisors = 3, 3
Here, we multiply all these divisors to calculate the HCF.
Therefore, HCF(18, 27, 36) = 9. Example 2: Find the HCF of 16, 24 and 32.
Solution:
Divide the given numbers with least common prime number.
Keep dividing until common factor is present.
So, list of divisors = 2, 2, 2
Here, we multiply all these divisors to calculate the HCF.
Therefore, HCF(16, 24, 32) = 8. Example 3: Find the HCF of 9, 12 and 15.
Solution:
Divide the given numbers with least common prime number.
Keep dividing until common factor is present.
So, list of divisors = 3
Here, we multiply all these divisors to calculate the HCF.
Therefore, HCF(9, 12, 15) = 3.

Exercise

1. HCF(18,27,36) = 9
 2. HCF(18, 24, 30) = 6
 3. HCF(50, 75, 100) = 25
 4. HCF(14,21,28) = 7
 5. HCF(10,20,30) = 10
 6. HCF(15,25,35) = 5
 7. HCF(6,7,21) = 1
 8. HCF(72, 96, 120) = 24
 9. HCF(88, 110, 132) = 44
 10. HCF(80,120,160) = 40

Highest Common Factor (HCF)

What is HCF?

HCF is also known as Highest Common Factor, GCF or GCD. HCF is the largest number that divides each of the given numbers without leaving a remainder.
The HCF formula can be expressed as,
HCF Formula:
HCF = (a × b)/ LCM(a,b)
where, a and b = Two terms
LCM(a, b) = Least common multiple of a and b
