If the HCF of (135), (180), and (225) is found, what will be the power of (3) in it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (2)
Step 1: Compare the powers of (3). Step 2: (135=3^3\times5), (180=2^2\times3^2\times5), and (225=3^2\times5^2), so the smallest power is (2). Step 3: HCF uses the smallest power.
