Question

Find the HCF of 1260 and 7344 by equally division Lemma full answer

Answer 1

Because 7344>1260
Therefore on applying division lemma method to 7344 and 1260 we get,

7344 = 1260×5 + 1044 ( dividing
7344 by 1260 we get
quotient 5 and
remainder 1044)

Because remainder is not equal to zero so we again apply division lemma method to 1260 and 1044

1260>1044
1260= 1044×1+216 (dividing 1260 by
1044 we get quotient 1
and remainder 216)

Remainder is not zeeo so we again apply division lemma method to 1044 and 216
1044>216
1044= 216×9+0 (dividing 1044 by 216
we get quotient 9 and
remainder 0)

Remainder is zero so we stop division lemma method
Therefore HCF =9
