Question

Find the HCF by long division method 404, 568 and 556

Answer 1

First we divide 568 by 404

404)568(1

- 404

=164

Then we divide 404 by 164

164)404(2

- 328

= 76

Then we divide 76 by 164

76)164(2

= - 152

=12

Then we divide 76 by 12

12)76(6

- 72

= 4

Then we divide 12 by 4

4)12(3

- 12

=0

Then we divide 556 by 4

4)556(139

- 4

= 15

- 12

=36

- 36

0

Therefore HCF of 404, 568 and 556 is 4
