It is given that: 

a = (22 × 33 × 54 ) and b = (23 × 32 × 5) 

∴HCF (a,b) = Product of smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers. 

 = 22 × 32 × 5 

 = 180

a= 2^2\times 3^3\times 5^4

b=2^3\times 3^2\times 5

Highest Common Factor of a and b :

It is a largest positive integer that divides both a and b.

H.C.F. = 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5
