Euclid’s division algorithm for 14 and 10 is visualised in the given figure.
Find the value of a × b × c
The figure visualises Euclid’s division algorithm for 14 and 10.
⇒ 14 = 10 × 1 + 4
⇒ 10 = 4 × 2 + 2
⇒ 4 = 2 × 2 + 0
Since the remainder is zero, the HCF of 14 and 10 is 2.
Thus, the side length of the smallest square in the figure is 2.
⇒ c = 2
⇒ a = 2 × 2 = 4
⇒ b = 4
Thus, a × b × c = 4 × 4 × 2 = 32
