Highest Common Factor
Every number has some factors but if two or more numbers taken together can have one or more common factors. Out of those common factors the greatest among them will be the highest common divisor or highest common factor of those numbers. Such as 12 and 18 have 1, 2, 3 and 6 as common factors but among them 6 is the highest common factor. So H.C.F. of 12 and 18 is 6.
A divisibility rule is a shorthand way of discovering whether a given number is divisible by a fixed divisor without performing the division, usually by examining its digits.
Every number can be classified into one or more groups. In mathematics, we classify numbers as being rational or irrational, natural, whole, or integer.Today, we are going to learn about these groups and how can we tell where the number we are looking at falls?
