Let's find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 325, 350, and 375.

  1. Find the prime factorization of 325.

    325 = 5 × 65
    325 = 5 × 5 × 13
    325 = 5² × 13

  2. Find the prime factorization of 350.

    350 = 10 × 35
    350 = (2 × 5) × (5 × 7)
    350 = 2 × 5² × 7

  3. Find the prime factorization of 375.

    375 = 5 × 75
    375 = 5 × (3 × 25)
    375 = 5 × 3 × 5 × 5
    375 = 3 × 5³

  4. Identify the common prime factors.

    The common prime factor among 325, 350, and 375 is 5.

  5. Find the lowest power of the common prime factor.

    The powers of 5 in the factorizations are 5², 5², and 5³. The lowest power is 5².

  6. Calculate the HCF.

    HCF = 5² = 25.

    The HCF of 325, 350, and 375 is 25.
