CBSE Class 6 Maths
Q1: Find the HCF of the following numbers:
(a) 18, 48
(b) 30, 42
(c) 18, 60
(d) 27, 63
(e) 36, 84
(f) 34, 102
(g) 70, 105, 175
(h) 91, 112, 49
(i) 18, 54, 81
(j) 12, 45, 75
Answer:
(a) Factors of 18 = 2 × 3 × 3
Factors of 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
HCF (18, 48) = 2 × 3 = 6
(b) Factors of 30 = 2 × 3 × 5
Factors of 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
HCF (30, 42) = 2 × 3 = 6
(c) Factors of 18 = 2 × 3 × 3
Factors of 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
HCF (18, 60) = 2 × 3 = 6
