Question

Use Euclid’s Division Algorithm to find the Highest Common Factor (H.C.F) of 10224 and 9648

Sum

Solution

To find H.C.F. 10224 and 9648, Using Euclid’s division algorithm.

We get

10224 = 9648 × 1 + 576

The remainder 576 ≠ 0.

Again using Euclid’s division algorithm

9648 = 576 × 16 + 432

Remainder 432 ≠ 0.

Again applying Euclid’s division algorithm

576 = 432 × 1 + 144

Remainder 144 ≠ 0.

Again using Euclid’s division algorithm

432 = 144 × 3 + 0

The remainder is zero.

∴ HCF = 144

The H.C.F. of 10224 and 9648 is 144.
