Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
10 = 2*5
35 = 5*7
40 = 2*2*2*5
The number 5 is common to all three factorisations
So the HCF = 5.
Continued division:
10 and 35:
10) 35(3
30
5)10(2
10
0
- so the HCF of 10 and 35 is 5.
10 and 40:
10)40( 4
40
0
So the HCF of 10 and 40 is 10
We found HCF of 10 and 35 is 5 so:
HCF of 10, 35 and 40 is HCF of 5 and 10 which is 5.
