What is the HCF of 234, 468, 1872

To find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 234, 468, and 1872, follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the numbers in a row, separated by commas: 234, 468, 1872.

Step 2: Find the smallest number among the three. In this case, it's 234.

Step 3: Start dividing all three numbers by the smallest number. If all numbers are divisible, then the smallest number is the HCF. If not, then reduce the smallest number by 1 and try again.

Step 4: In this case, 234 does not divide evenly into 468 and 1872. So, we reduce 234 by 1 to get 233 and try again.

Step 5: Continue this process until you find a number that divides evenly into all three numbers.

In this case, the HCF of 234, 468, and 1872 is 234.
