Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ 272 = (152*1) + 120

⇒ 152 = (120*1) + 32

⇒ 120 = (32*3) + 24

⇒ 32 = (24*1) + 8

⇒ 24 = (8*3) + 0

Since the remainder becomes 0 here, so the H.C.F. of 152 and 272 is 8

Now,

272*8 + 152x = H.C.F. of these numbers

⇒ 2176 + 152x = 8

⇒ 152x = 8 - 2176

⇒ 152x = - 2168

⇒ x = - 2168/152

⇒ x = - 271/19
