since 867 > 255,we apply the division lemma to 867 and 255 to obtain
867=255×3+102
since remainder 102≠0,we apply he division lemma to 255 and 102 to obtain
255=102×2+51
we consider, the new divisor 102 and new remainder 51, and the division lemma to obtain
102=51×2+0
since the remainder is 0,the process stops
since the divisor at this stage is 51
Therefore the HCF of 867 and 255 is 51
