Find the HCF of the following pairs of integers and express it as a linear combination of them

(i) 963 & 657 (ii) 592 & 252


(iii) 506 & 1155 (iv) 1288 & 575

(i) Using Euclid’s Division Lemma


a = bq + r, (o ≤r<b)


963 = 657×1 + 306


657 = 306×2 + 45


306 = 45×6+36


45 = 36×1+9


36 = 9×4+0


HCF (657, 963) = 9


(ii) Using Euclid’s Division Lemma


a = bq + r, (o ≤r<b)


592 = 252×2+88


252 = 88×2+76


88 = 76×1+12


76 = 12×6+4


12 = 4×3+0


HCF (657, 963) = 4


(iii) Using Euclid’s Division Lemma


a = bq + r, (o ≤r<b)


1155 = 506×2+143


506 = 143×3+77


143 = 77×1+66


77 = 66×1+11


66 = 11×6+0


HCF (657, 963) = 11


(iv) Using Euclid’s Division Lemma


a = bq + r, (o ≤r<b)


1288 = 575×2+138


575 = 138×4+23


138 = 23×6+0


HCF (657, 963) = 23
