find the hcf of 1260and7344 using Euclids algorithm
Answers
Hope this will help you....
Answer:
HCF=36
Step-by-step explanation:
Step1: According to Euclid's Algorithm
Here we have C and D two digits whose HCF we have to find Out such that C>D
and C=DQ+R
Where We have to divide C by D thus C become Divisor and D becomes Dividend and Q is Quotient and R=Remainder
For Eg: here in this Question C=7344 Because C>D
D=1260
Now divide 7344 by 1240 thus we get Q=5 And R=1044
thus Equation become
C=D*Q+R
7344=1260*5+1044
Step 2: Now Repeat Step 1 untill we Get Remainder =0;
thus now C becomes 1260 and D Becomes 1044
now divide C by D
thus the next equation we get
C=D*Q+R
1260=1044*1+216
Again Rem=216 which is not equals to 0 thus repeat above process
where C=1044 and D=216
now Again divide C by D
Now Equation we get
C=D*Q+R
1044=216*4+180
Rem =180 which is not equals to 0 thus repeat above procedure
where C=216 and D=180
now Again divide C by D
Now Equation we get
C=D*Q+R
216=180*1+36
Rem =36 which is not equals to 0 thus repeat above procedure
where C=180 and D=36
now Again divide C by D
Now Equation we get
C=D*Q+R
180=36*5+0
now Rem =0
thus Divisor that is D becomes HCF
Therefore
HCF=36
