Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Prime factorization:

  • 493 = 17 × 29

  • 527 = 17 × 31

  • 697 = 17 × 41

All three numbers share the common factor 17.

HCF (493, 527, 697) = 17

Since 17 is prime and the remaining factors 29, 31, and 41 are distinct primes, there is no larger common factor.
