The hcf of 66,99,143,264 |
|
Answer» Step 1: Since 99 > 66, we apply the division lemma to 99 and 66, to get99 = 66 x 1 + 33Step 2: Since the reminder 66 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 33 and 66, to get66 = 33 x 2 + 0The remainder has now BECOME zero, so our procedure stops. Since the DIVISOR at this stage is 33, the HCF of 66 and 99 is 33Notice that 33 = HCF(66,33) = HCF(99,66) .Therefore, HCF of 66,99 using EUCLID's division lemma is 33. |
