Question

Find the HCF using edl72,34,17

Answer 1

Answer:

Euclid's division lemma

HCF of 72 , 34 , 17

divide the smallest number with the second smallest and find their HCF

= 34 = (17×2)+0

SO THE HCF IS 17

THE. DIVIDE IT WITH THE NUMBER LEFT

72 ÷ 17

72 = (17×4)+4

17 = (4×4)+1

4 = (1×4)+0

so the reminder is zero and the divisors in the last is the HCF which is 1 here

so the HCF of 72,34,17 = 1

and the numbers are coprime
