Question

find the HCF of 255 and 867

Answer 1

Hi friend....

Since 867 > 255, we apply the division lemma to 867 and 255 to obtain
867 = 255 × 3 + 102
Since remainder 102 ? 0, we apply the division lemma to 255 and 102 to obtain
255 = 102 × 2 + 51
We consider the new divisor 102 and new remainder 51, and apply the division lemma to obtain
102 = 51 × 2 + 0
Since the remainder is zero, the process stops.
Since the divisor at this stage is 51,
so hcf of 255 and 867 is 51.

hope this helps u....
:)
