As you can see, from question 225 is greater than 135 . Therefore, by Euclid’s division algorithm, we have,
225 = 135 × 1 + 90
Now, remainder 90 ≠ 0, thus again using division lemma for 90, we get,
135 = 90 × 1 + 45
Again, 45 ≠ 0, repeating the above step for 45, we get,
90 = 45 × 2 + 0
The remainder is now zero, so our method stops here. Since, in the last step, the divisor is 45, therefore, HCF (225,135) = HCF (135, 90) = HCF (90, 45) = 45.
Hence, the HCF of 225 and 135 is 45.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
225 = 135*1 + 90
135 = 90*1 + 45
90 = 45*2 + 0
