28

According to Euclid’s Division Lemma

if we have two positive integers a and b, then there exists unique integers q and r which satisfies the condition a = bq + r

where 0 ≤ r ≤ b .

Hcf of  16 and 28 by euclids division lemma is

28 = 16 x 1 + 12

16 = 12 x 1 + 4

12 = 4 x 3 + 0

since the remainder is 0 we cannot proceed further and hence  the last divisior is 4 

so hcf = 4
