Math Problem Statement

Find the HCF of 25,27

Solution

To find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 25 and 27, we can use the prime factorization method or the Euclidean algorithm.

  1. Prime factorization:
    • 25 = 525^2
    • 27 = 333^3

There are no common factors between 25 and 27 other than 1. Therefore, the HCF is 1.
