Correct option is C
Given:
The HCF of the smallest prime number and the smallest composite number.
Concept Used:
The HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both of them exactly.
The HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both of them exactly.
Solution:
The smallest prime number is 2.
The smallest composite number is 4.
The smallest composite number is 4.
The factors of 2 are: 2 × 1.
The factors of 4 are: 4 × 2 × 1
The factors of 4 are: 4 × 2 × 1
The common factors of 2 and 4 are 1 and 2. Therefore, the HCF is the largest common factor, which is 2.
So, the HCF of the smallest prime number and the smallest composite number is 2.
Thus, the correct answer is (c).
