Answer:

a= 1,2,4 b= 1,2,3,6 c=1,2,4 d=1,2,5,10 e=1,2,3,4,6,12 H.C.F of all the pairs= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of:

a. 8=1,2,4,8

12=1,2,3,4,6,12.

common factor=1,2,4

b. 12=1,2,3,4,6,12

18=1,2,3,6,9,18

common factor=1,2,3,6

c. 16=1,2,4,16

24=1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

common factor=1,2,4

d. 20=1,2,4,5,10,20

30=1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30

common factor=1,2,5,10

e. 24=1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

36=1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36

common factor=1,2,3,4,6,12

HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR (H.C.F)=

The factor common to the whole pairs

which is 1 and 2

therefore 1 multiplied by 2 which is equal to 2

(and in Mathematics means multiplication)
