Answer :

Answer:

HCF = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

= 16

Step-by-step explanation:

2 128 192 80

2 64 96 40

2 32 48 20

2 16 24 10

8 12 5

At this stage there is no common factor for the three numbers

HCF = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

= 16

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Express each number as a product of it's prime factors

128 = [tex]2^{7}[/tex]

192 = [tex]2^{6}[/tex] × 3

80 = [tex]2^{4}[/tex] × 5

Identify those prime factors that the numbers have in common and multiply them.

The common factor of all 3 numbers is [tex]2^{4}[/tex]

HCF = [tex]2^{4}[/tex] = 16
