Q4 of 57 Page 23

Find the HCF (Highest Common Factor) of the following pairs of number by Euclid Division Algorithm:

196, 38220


From the integers given in the question 38220 and 196, it is observed that 38220 > 196. So by Euclid’s Division Lemma we get the following:

38220 = 196 × 195 + 0


So from the above relation is seen that remainder zero is obtained.


So the HCF of 38220 and 196 is 195.


The entire process can be expressed in the following way:
