Ladder Help

1. Start with smallest prime factor.
2. Divide the number by it.
3. Write prime factor on right.
4. Place the quotient below.
5. Repeat with same prime factor.
6. Move to next prime factor if not divisible.
7. Continue until 1.
8. Numbers on the right are prime factors.

What is Ladder?

The ladder method involves repeatedly dividing the number by the smallest prime numbers, starting from 2 until the quotient becomes 1. The divisors are arranged in a ladder formation, hence the method name is ladder.

Venn Diagram Help

1. Draw circles for numbers.
2. Circle represents the factors.
3. Place common factors in overlaps.
4. Keep unique factors separate.
5. Multiply overlapping factors.
6. Obtain the HCF.

What is Venn Diagram?

The Venn Diagram Method for HCF uses circles to represent prime factors of numbers. Common factors go in overlaps, unique factors in sections. Multiply within overlaps to get HCF quickly.

Solved Examples

Examples

Example 1: Find the HCF of 27, 36 and 45.
Solution:
Prime factors of 27 = 3, 3, 3
Prime factors of 36 = 2, 2, 3, 3
Multiply factors present in the common region of venn diagram to find the HCF.
Factors present in common region = 3, 3.
Therefore, HCF(27, 36, 45) = 9. Example 2: Find the HCF of 50, 75 and 100.
Solution:
Prime factors of 50 = 2, 5, 5
Prime factors of 75 = 3, 5, 5
Multiply factors present in the common region of venn diagram to find the HCF.
Factors present in common region = 5, 5.
Therefore, HCF(50, 75, 100) = 25. Example 3: Find the HCF of 72, 96 and 120.
Solution:
Prime factors of 72 = 2, 2, 2, 3, 3
Prime factors of 96 = 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3
Multiply factors present in the common region of venn diagram to find the HCF.
Factors present in common region = 2, 2, 2, 3.
Therefore, HCF(72, 96, 120) = 24.

Exercise

1. HCF(42,56,70) = 14. 2. HCF(18,27,36) = 9. 3. HCF(80,120,160) = 40. 4. HCF(16, 24, 32) = 8. 5. HCF(81, 108, 135) = 27. 6. HCF(60, 80, 100) = 20. 7. HCF(48, 64, 80) = 16. 8. HCF(18, 24, 30) = 6. 9. HCF(42, 56, 70) = 14. 10. HCF(88, 110, 132) = 44.

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
