If P = a3 × b5 × c11, Q = a8 × b9 × c5, R = a15 × c23, then what is the HCF of P, Q and R?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. a3 × c5.
Concept used:
HCF of the numbers
Calculations:
According to the question;
⇒ Factors of P = a3 × b5 × c11
⇒ Factors of Q = a8 × b9 × c5
⇒ Factors of R = a15 × c23
HCF of P, Q and R = a3 × c5
