Detailed Solution

We have been given the numbers 81 and 117.
Prime factors of 81 and 117,
81=3×3×3×3   117=3×3×13  
The common factors between two numbers are 3 and 3.
The HCF of 81 and 117,
HCF =3×3=9   Therefore, our statement is false.
The H.C.F. of 81 and 117 using the prime factorization method is 9.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
