Answer 2

Answer:

5 is the HCF of 85 and 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Given that, 85 and 125

HCF - The greatest number that divides each of the two or more numbers is known as the HCF, or highest common factor. The Greatest Common Measure  and Greatest Common Divisor are further names for HCF (GCD)

Step 1:

Division method -

         85 )  125 (1

                 -85  

                   40)85(2

                         -80

                             5 ) 40( 8

                                   -40

                                     xx

125 = 85 × 1 + 40

85 = 40 × 2 + 5

40 = 5 × 8 + 0

So, here we can see that on dividing 40 by 5 we get 0 as the remainder.

Final answer:

Hence, 5 is the  required HCF of  85 and 125.
