The number a and b are co-primes, the HCF of a and b is ____.
(a) 1 (b) a ;(c) a $+$ b (d) ab
Given: a and b are co-prime numbers.
To find: Here we have to find the HCF of a and b
Solution:
Two numbers are said to be co-prime numbers when they have no other common factor other than one. This implies, their Highest Common Factor is one.
Now, a and b are co-prime numbers. So,
HCF (a, b) = 1
So, HCF of a and b is 1.
