Question
Use Euclid’s Division Algorithm to find the Highest Common Factor (H.C.F) of 10224 and 9648

Answer

To find H.C.F. 10224 and 9648, Using Euclid’s division algorithm.
We get
10224 = 9648 × 1 + 576
The remainder 576 ≠ 0.
Again using Euclid’s division algorithm
9648 = 576 × 16 + 432
Remainder 432 ≠ 0.
Again applying Euclid’s division algorithm
576 = 432 × 1 + 144
Remainder 144 ≠ 0.
Again using Euclid’s division algorithm
432 = 144 × 3 + 0
The remainder is zero.
∴ HCF = 144
The H.C.F. of 10224 and 9648 is 144.
