"Introduction": "<strong>Introduction</strong><br><h3 id="WhatisHCF">What is HCF?</h3>",
"Summary": "<p>When it comes to mathematics, the term 'Highest Common Factor' or HCF is a crucial concept that plays a significant role in solving various mathematical problems. Let's delve into the world of HCF and understand its importance in number theory.</p><br>",
"Explain": "<strong>Definition</strong><br><h3 id="HCFExplained">The HCF Explained</h3>",
"Define": "<p>The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two or more numbers is the largest number that divides each of the numbers without leaving a remainder. In simpler terms, it is the highest number that is a common factor of all the given numbers.</p><br>",
"Methods": "<strong>Methods</strong><br><h3 id="FindingtheHCF">Finding the HCF</h3>",
"Definition": "<p>There are several methods to find the HCF of numbers. One common method is to list the factors of each number and identify the highest common factor. Another method involves using prime factorization to determine the HCF.</p><br>",
"Example": {
