Using euclid division algorithm find HCF of the following number 480,704,3680

Open in App
Solution

Dear student
First we apply Euclid's division algorithm on 3680 and 704We know thata=bq+r, where 0r<b and a>bSo, herea=3680 and b=704,So3680=704×5+160704=160×4+64160=64×2+3264=32×2+0Here r=0 ,So H.C.F of 3680 and 704 is 32Now apply Euclid's division algorithm on 32 and 480.Here a=480 and b=32480=32×15+0Here r=0 ,So H.C.F of 32 and 480 is 32Hence H.C.F of 3680 and 704 and 480 is 32
