Question

find the hcf of 61,76 by using division method

Answer 1

01 is the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 61 and 76.

Step by Step Explanation :

Step I:

Here we need to divide 76 by 61.

[Divide the larger number by the smaller one].

Step II:

The first divisor is 61 and the remainder is 15, so we need to divide 61 by 15.

[Divide the first divisor by the first remainder].

Step III:

Now divide the second divisor 15 by the second remainder 01.

[Divide the second divisor by the second remainder].

Step IV:

The remainder becomes 0.

Step V:

Therefore, highest common factor = 01.

[The last divisor is the required highest common factor (H.C.F) of the given numbers].
