Open in App
Solution
HCF of 16 and 24
∴ HCF of 16 and 24 : 8
Step 1: Divide 24 by 16 (larger by smaller)
Step 2: First divisor is 16 and remainder is 8, so we need to divide 16 by 8
(Division of first divisor by first remainder)
Step 3: Now divide 2nd divisor by 2nd remainder (If there is any)
After step 2, remainder becomes 0
HCF = 8
∴ HCF of 16 and 24 : 8
Step 1: Divide 24 by 16 (larger by smaller)
Step 2: First divisor is 16 and remainder is 8, so we need to divide 16 by 8
(Division of first divisor by first remainder)
Step 3: Now divide 2nd divisor by 2nd remainder (If there is any)
After step 2, remainder becomes 0
HCF = 8
