First find the factors of 24 and 36 using prime factorization.
24=2 x 2x 2 x3
36=2 x 2x 3 x3
The common factors of 24 and 36 is 2( occuring two times) and 3 (one time).
So, HCF of 24 and 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12.

Step 1: We first find the factors of 24 and 36.
24 = 2 X 2 X 2 X 3
36 = 2 X 2 X 3 X 3
 
Step 2: We find the common factors of both numbers 24 and 36
Common factors of 24 and 36 = 2, 2, 3
 
Step 3: Multiply the common factors to get the HCF
HCF of 24 and 36 = 2 X 2 X 3 = 12
