HCF of 3000 and 2096

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Highest common factor

factors of 3000 : 1, 2,3,4, 5,6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 100, 120, 125, 150, 200, 250, 300, 375, 500, 600, 750, 1000, 1500, 3000

factors of 2096 : 1, 2,4, 8, 16, 131, 262, 524, 1048, 2096

highest common factor is 8

The answer is 8.

Here's a way to find a hcf of two numbers a and b:

If b is 0, then the answer is a.

Otherwise: replace a with b, and replace b with the remainder after dividing a/b.

Here's an example:

hcf (3000,2096)

= hcf (2096, 904)

= hcf (904, 288)

= hcf (288, 40)

= hcf (40, 8)

= hcf (8, 0)

since b is 0 now, the answer is a

= 8
