Question

Use Euclid’s Division Algorithm to find the Highest Common Factor (H.C.F) of 84, 90 and 120

Sum

Solution

To find H.C.F. of 84, 90 and 120.

Using Euclid’s division algorithm

90 = 84 × 1 + 6

The remainder 6 ≠ 0.

Again using Euclid’s division algorithm

84 = 6 × 14 + 0

The remainder is zero.

∴ The H.C.F. of 84 and 90 is 6. To find the H.C.F. of 6 and 120 using Euclid’s division algorithm.

120 = 6 × 20 + 0

The remainder is zero.

Therefore H.C.F. of 120 and 6 is 6

∴ H.C.F. of 84, 90 and 120 is 6.
