Find the HCF of the pairs of numbers 56 and 88.

Answer»

Now, apply Euclid’s Division lemma on 56 and 88 

88 = 56 x 1 + 32. 

Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on 56 and remainder 32 

56 = 32 x 1 + 24. 

Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on 32 and remainder 24 

32 = 24 x 1 + 8.

Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on 24 and remainder 8 

24 = 8 x 3 + 0. 

Therefore, H.C.F. of 56 and 88 is 8.
