Question

find the short division method for hcf 615,984​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step I: 

Here we need to divide 180 by 75. 

[Divide the larger number by the smaller one]. 

Step II: 

The first divisor is 75 and the remainder is 30, so we need to divide 75 by 30. 

[Divide the first divisor by the first remainder]. 

Step III: 

Now divide the second divisor 30 by the second remainder 15. 

[Divide the second divisor by the second remainder]. 

Step IV: 

The remainder becomes 0. 

Step V: 

Therefore, highest common factor = 15. 

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