What is the highest common factor of 240 and 1500

2 answers:

There are several process for finding the HCF or Highest Common factor for any numbers given. In this case the two numbers given are 240 and 1500.
Firstly we need to divide 1500 by 240 and check if there are any remainders. On dividing we get quotient is 6 and remainder is 60. Now again we have to divide 240 by 60 which we found as remainder previously. Then on dividing 240 by 60 we get no remainder. So the 60 is the HCF or the Highest Common Factor of 240 and 1500. This is the easiest process by which the HCF of any set of numbers can be found.

Another way is to express the two numbers as a product of their prime factors.

240 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

1500 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 5

If you pair up a factor of 240 with the same factor of 1500, you find that 2 matches twice, 3 once and 5 once

so HCF = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60

Answer:

$x1 = 2 \\ x2 = - \frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x = \frac{ - b + - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \\ x = \frac{1 + - \sqrt{ {( - 1)}^{2} - 4(2)( - 6) } }{2(2)} \\ x = \frac{1 + - \sqrt{1 + 48} }{4} \\ x = \frac{1 + - \sqrt{49} }{4} \\ x = \frac{1 + - 7}{4} \\ \\ x1 = \frac{1 + 7}{4} = \frac{8}{4} = 2 \\ x2 = \frac{1 - 7}{4} = - \frac{6 }{4} = - \frac{3}{2}$

Answer:

50% probability that a randomly selected respondent voted for Obama.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

60% probability that an Ohio resident does not have a college degree.

If an Ohio resident does not have a college degree, a 52% probability that he voted for Obama.

40% probability that an Ohio resident has a college degree.

If an Ohio resident has a college degree, a 47% probability that he voted for Obama.

What is the probability that a randomly selected respondent voted for Obama?

This is the sum of 52% of 60%(non college degree) and 47% of 40%(college degree).

$P = 0.52*0.6 + 0.47*0.4 = 0.5$

50% probability that a randomly selected respondent voted for Obama.

The price for a gallon of whole milk has increased from 2006 to 2008. from 2006 to 2007, the cost of whole milk increased by app

valkas [14]

You have the starting price of $1.99. To get the increased price, divide 1.99 by .56 (.56 is the decimal form of 56%). You would get $3.55. This is for the year 2007. So for 2008, divide 3.55 by .42. The answer is $8.45. You can check the answers by multiplying the answers you go the the percentage. Ex. 8.45* .42=3.55 (rounded)
