Question

Find the HCF of the positive integers 180, 252 and 324

Answer 1

ithe hcf of the positive..........is 11340

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider 252 and 324 , here , a= 324 and b= 252 by Euclid's division lemma-

a= bq+ r, 0 ≤ r < b

324= (252×1)+72

252= (72×3)+36

72= (36×2)+0

Therefore HCF = 36 (324 , 252)

Now consider 36 and 180, here

a= 180 and b= 36

a= bq+r, 0≤ r < b

180 =(36×5)+0

HCF (180, 36

Therefore HCF (180, 324, 252) = 36
