Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of
(i) 135 and 225 (ii)196 & 38220
(iii) 867 & 255.
((i) 135 and 225
Step 1: Since 225 > 135, apply Euclid's division lemma
let a =225 and b=135 to find q and r such that 225 = 135q+r, (0≤r<135)
On dividing 225 by 135 we get quotient as 1 and remainder as 90
Using Euclid's division lemma
i.e 225 = 135 × 1 + 90
Step 2: Remainder r which is 90 now we apply Euclid's division lemma to a = 135 and b = 90 to find whole numbers q and r such that
135 = 90 × q + r (0≤r<90)
On dividing 135 by 90 we get quotient as 1 and remainder as 45
i.e 135 = 90 × 1 + 45
Step 3: Again remainder r = 45 so we apply Euclid's division lemma to a = 90 and b = 45 to find q and r such that
90 = 45 × q + r (0≤r<45)
On dividing 90 by 45 we get quotient as 2 and remainder as 0
i.e 90 = 2×45 + 0
Step 4: Since the remainder is zero
Since the divisor at this stage is 45, therefore HCF of 135 and 225 is 45.
(ii) 196 and 38220
Step 1: Since 38220 > 196, apply Euclid's division lemma
let a =38220 and b=196 to find whole numbers q and r such that
Using Euclid's division lemma
38220 = 196 q + r, (0≤r<196)
On dividing 38220 we get quotient as 195 and remainder r as 0
i.e 38220 = 196 × 195 + 0
Since the remainder is zero therefore divisor at this stage is HCF of 196 and 38220 is 196.
(iii) 867 and 255
Step 1: Since 867 > 255, apply Euclid's division lemma
Let a =867 and b=255 to find q and r Using Euclid's division lemma
867 = 255q + r, (0≤r<255)
i.e 867 = 255 × 3 + 102
On dividing 867 by 255 we get quotient as 3 and remainder as 102
Step 2: Again applying Euclid's division lemma to a=255 and b= 102 to find whole numbers q and r such that
255 = 102q + r where (0≤r<102)
On dividing 255 by 102 we get quotient as 2 and remainder as 51
i.e 255 = 102 × 2 + 51
Step 3: Again remainder 51 is non zero, so we apply the division lemma to a=102 and b= 51 to find whole numbers q and r such that
102 = 51 q + r where (0≤r<51)
On dividing 102 by 51 quotient is 2 and remainder is 0
i.e 102 = 51 × 2 + 0
Since the remainder is zero therefore divisor at this stage is HCF of 867 and 255.
Therefore HCF is 51.
