Answer 1

Answer:

x = 0

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the hcf of 108 and 12 and write as 108x+12y .find x and y.

First factorize 108 & 12

108  =  2 * 2  * 3 * 3 * 3

12 = 2 * 2 * 3

Common factors in 108 & 12 will be HCF

HCF = Highest common Factor = 2 * 2 * 3 = 12

108x + 12y  = 12

=> x = 0  & y = 1
