What is HCF and GCD? | Maths Explanation for Python Kids
Highest Common Factor or Greatest Common Divisor is the highest-valued-factor
or greatest-valued-divisor common to a set of numbers.
In this Python math project, we'll explore how to find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) and Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of numbers.
This tutorial is perfect for primary school students learning to code with Python.
A common method for finding H.C.F. - G.C.D. is repeated factorization
using only common factors.
If we have the set of numbers 30, 48 and
54 for example, their H.C.F. or G.C.D. is found thus:
Hence, H.C.F. of 30, 48 and 54 = 2 X 3 = 6
