Answer

339)=1339) = 1

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Find the prime factorization of each number.

    For 2401:

    2401=7×343=7×7×49=7×7×7×7=742401 = 7 \times 343 = 7 \times 7 \times 49 = 7 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7 = 7^4

    For 330:

    330=10×33=(2×5)×(3×11)=2×3×5×11330 = 10 \times 33 = (2 \times 5) \times (3 \times 11) = 2 \times 3 \times 5 \times 11

    For 339:

    339=3×113339 = 3 \times 113

    (Note: 113 is a prime number.)

  2. Identify the common prime factors among all three numbers.

    The prime factors of 2401 are {7}\{7\}.
    The prime factors of 330 are {2,3,5,11}\{2, 3, 5, 11\}.
    The prime factors of 339 are {3,113}\{3, 113\}.

    There are no prime factors that are common to all three numbers.
    When there are no common prime factors other than 1, the HCF is 1.

  3. State the HCF.

    The HCF of 2401,330,2401, 330, and 339 is 1.

    HCF(2401,330,339)=1\text{HCF}(2401, 330, 339) = \boxed{1}
