Answer :

Given:

The two numbers are 1280 and 630.

To find:

The HCF of the given numbers.

Solution:

First write the given numbers in prime factorization form.

[tex]1280=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 5[/tex]

[tex]630=2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot 7[/tex]

Now the product of all the common prime factors is known as the HCF of 1280 and 630.

[tex]HCF=2\cdot 5[/tex]

[tex]HCF=10[/tex]

Therefore, the HCF of 1280 and 630 is 10.
