Question

Find the HCF of the following ab² and a² b​

Answer 1

Answer:
`ab`

Explanation:

HCF just stands for Highest/Greatest Common Factor. In order to find what it is, simplify each term into their components to find what the GCF/HCF is :

`ab^2 = a*b*b`

`a^2b=a*a*b`

Recognize that each term has both an
`a` and a
`b` and they are both multiplied terms. That is why you can conclude that
`ab` is the HCF.

That's it!
