Find the H.C.F. of
\(2^{2}\times 3^{2}\times 7^{2},2\times 3^{4} \times 7\)

  • A.128
  • B.126
  • C.146
  • D.434

Answer: B

The H.C.F. takes the lowest power of each shared prime.

\[ 2^{2} \cdot 3^{2} \cdot 7^{2} \quad\text{and}\quad 2 \cdot 3^{4} \cdot 7 \]

\[ \text{H.C.F.} = 2^{1} \cdot 3^{2} \cdot 7^{1} = 126 \]

The L.C.M. would take the highest powers instead.
