Using division method find the HCF of the following number is 272 425 solve this question
Steps to find HCF of 272 and 425 by the division method are as follows:.
1. Divide the larger number by the smaller number:
425 ÷ 272 = 1 with remainder 153
2. Divide the divisor (272) by the remainder (153):
272 ÷ 153 = 1 with remainder 119
3. Divide the previous divisor by the new remainder:
153 ÷ 119 = 1 with remainder 34
119 ÷ 34 = 3 with remainder 17
34 ÷ 17 = 2 with remainder 0
**The last divisor, 17, is the HCF of 272 and 425.**
So, HCF of 272 and 425 is 17.
We will find the HCF of 272 and 425 by the following steps with the division method:
We will divide large number with the smaller one
425 ÷ 272 = 1 having remainder = 153
Further, we will divide divisor value 272 with the remainder.
272 ÷ 153 = 1 having a remainder of 119.
We will divide previous obtained divisor by the remainder now
153 ÷ 119 = 1, remainder = 34
119 ÷ 34 = 3 with a remainder of 17
34 ÷ 17 = 2 with a remainder of 0
The last divisor, 17, is the HCF of 272 and 425.
Hence, HCF of 272 and 425 is 17.
