See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step -1 - Apply the concept of   Prime Factorization

In this, simply use the concept of Prime factorization of the numbers to get the greatest common factor of the given numbers.

Step -2 – Find the Factorization of the numbers

Since,

a. The factor of 32are:32=2×2×2×2×2

The factor of65 are:65=5×13

It has no common factor other than 1.

b. The factor of 34are:34=2×17

The factor of69 are:69=3×23

It has no common factor other than1 .

c. The factor of 63are:63=3×3×7

The factor of91 are:91=7×13

It has common factor which is 7other than 1.

d. The factor of26 are:26=2×13

The factor of 85are:85=5×17

It has no common factor other than 1.

Step -3 – Eliminating the options by giving reason

a.32,65 : It is not the correct option because it has only one factor .

b.34,69 : It is not the correct option because it has only one factor .

c.63,91 : It is the correct option because it has another factor other than .d. 26,85: It is not the correct option because it has only one factor .
