Detailed Solution

Given numbers are 144 and 198.
We have to find the HCF of given numbers.
Using the prime factorisation of both the numbers,
144=2×2×2×2×3×3 144=24×32 198=2×3×3×11 198=2×32×11 We know that the HCF of two or more numbers is the sum of all their prime factors. HCF(144,198)=2×32 HCF=2×9 HCF=18 So, the HCF of 144 and 198 is 18.
Hence, option 4 is correct.
