If (p=2^5\times3^2\times7) and (q=2^5\times3^2\times7\times17), which statement about (p) and (q) is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The HCF will be (p)
Step 1: (q=p\times17), so (p) exactly divides (q). Step 2: When one number exactly divides the other, the smaller number is the HCF. Step 3: Identifying a multiple relation saves time in such questions.
