Answer :
(i) 135 and 225
Since 225 > 135, we apply the division lemma to 225 and 135 to obtain
225 = 135 × 1 + 90
Since remainder 90 ≠ 0, we apply the division lemma to 135 and 90 to obtain
135 = 90 × 1 + 45
We consider the new divisor 90 and new remainder 45, and apply the division lemma to obtain
90 = 2 × 45 + 0
Since the remainder is zero, the process stops.
Since the divisor at this stage is 45,
Therefore, the HCF of 135 and 225 is 45.
(ii) 196 and 38220
Since 38220 > 196, we apply the division lemma to 38220 and 196 to obtain
38220 = 196 × 195 + 0
Since the remainder is zero, the process stops.
Since the divisor at this stage is 196,
Therefore, HCF of 196 and 38220 is 196.
(iii) 867 and 255
Since 867 > 255, we apply the division lemma to 867 and 255 to obtain
867 = 255 × 3 + 102
Since remainder 102 ≠ 0, we apply the division lemma to 255 and 102 to obtain
255 = 102 × 2 + 51
We consider the new divisor 102 and new remainder 51, and apply the division lemma to obtain
102 = 51 × 2 + 0
Since the remainder is zero, the process stops.
Since the divisor at this stage is 51, Therefore, HCF of 867 and 255 is 51.
