Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 27 Given: We have to find the HCF of 54, 162 and 189 Concept Used: Concept of HCF HCF (Highest Common Factor): HCF of x and y is the highest common factor that can divide x and y exactly For Example, 12 → Factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 16 → Factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 Here common factors are 1, 2, and 4. But of these 4 is the largest/highest ∴ HCF of 12 and 16 is 4 Calculation: 54 → 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 162 → 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 189 → 3 × 3 × 3 × 7 Here, common factors amongst the above are 3 × 3 × 3 HCF of 54, 162 and 189 is 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 ∴ The required HCF is 27. |
