Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of :

Q.1

(i)

135

and

225

Since

225

>

135,

Applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,

we get,

225

=

135

×

1

+

90

Now consider,

divisor 90

and

dividend 135

applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,

we get,

135

=

90

×

1

+

45

Now consider,

divisor 45

and

dividend 90

applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,

we get,

90

=

45

×

2

+

0

since remainder

=

HCF (135, 225)

=

Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of :

Q.1

(iii)

867

and

255

Since

867

Applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,

we get,

867

=

102

Now consider,

divisor 102

and

dividend 255

applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,

we get,

+

51

Now consider,

divisor 51

and

dividend 102

applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,

we get,

102

=

51

×

2

+

0

since remainder

=

HCF (867, 255)

=
