Highest common factor of 32,48 and 72

the hcf of 32 48 and 72 is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have ,

32 = 2×2×2×2×2 = 2^{5}

48 = 2×2×2×2×3 = 2⁴×3¹

72 = 2×2×2×3×3 = 2³×3²

Now,

HCF(32,48,72) = 2³ = 8

/* Product of the smallest power of each common prime factors of the numbers */

HCF = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write them as prime factors:

32 = 2*2*2*2*2

48 = 2*2*2*2*3

72 = 2*2*2*3*3

So we pick out the common factors:

They are 2 * 2 * 2 = 8.
