Question

find the HCF of 4032 and 262 using Euclid division algorithm.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is the solution of your asked query:

Step 1:

First, apply Euclid’s division lemma on 4032 and 262.

4032 = 262 × 15 + 102

Step 2:

As the remainder is non-zero, we apply Euclid’s division lemma on 262 and 102.

262 = 102 × 2 + 58

Step 3:

Apply Euclid’s division lemma on 102 and 58.

102 = 58 × 1 + 44

Step 4:

Apply Euclid’s division lemma on 58 and 44.

58 = 44 × 1 + 14

Step 5:

Apply Euclid’s division lemma on 44 and 14.

44 = 14 × 3 + 2

Step 6:

Apply Euclid’s division lemma on 14 and 2.

14 = 2 × 7 + 0

In the problem given above, to obtain 0 as the remainder, the divisor has to be taken as 2. Hence,

2 is the H.C.F. of 4032 and 262
