Question 1.
Using repeated division method, find the HCF of the following:
(i) 455 and 26
Answer:
.png)
Step 1: The larger number should be dividend 455 \& smaller number should be divisor $=26$
Step 2: After Ist division, the remainder becomes new divisor \& the previous divisor becomes next dividend.
Step 3: This is done till remainder is zero.
Step 4: The last divisor is the HCF L.
$\therefore$ Ans: $\mathrm{HCF}$ is 13 .
(ii) 392 and 256
Answer:
256 is smaller, so it is the 1st divisor

Question $2 .$
Using repeated subtraction method, find the HCF of the following:
(i) 42 and 70
Answer:
Let number be $m$ \& $n \mathrm{~m}>\mathrm{n}$
We do, $\mathrm{m}-\mathrm{n} \&$ the result of subtraction becomes new ' $m$ '. if $m$ becomes less than $\mathrm{n}$,
we do $\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{m}$ and then assign the result as $\mathrm{n}$. We should do this till $\mathrm{mn}$. When $\mathrm{m}=\mathrm{n}$ then ' $\mathrm{m}$ ' is the HCF.
42 and 70
$m=70 n=42$
$70-42=28$
now $\mathrm{m}=42, \mathrm{n}=28$
$42-28=14$.
now $m=28, n=14$
$28-14=14$.
now $\mathrm{m}=14 \cdot \mathrm{n}=14$;
we stop here as $m=n$
$\therefore$ HCF of $42 \& 70$ is 14
(ii) 36 and 80
Answer:
.png)
$\begin{aligned}
&28-8=20 \\
&20-8=12 \\
&12-8=4 \\
&8=4=4
\end{aligned}$
now $m=n=4$
$\therefore \mathrm{HCF}$ is 4
(iii) 280 and 420
Answer:
Let $\mathrm{m}=420, \mathrm{n}=280$
$m-n=420-280=140$
now $m=280, n=140$
$m-n=280-140=140$
now $m=n=140$
$\therefore \mathrm{HCF}$ is 140
(iv) 1014 and 654
Answer:
Let $m=1014, \mathrm{n}=654$
$m-n=1014-654=360$
now $\mathrm{m}=654, \mathrm{n}=360$
$\mathrm{m}-\mathrm{n}=654-360=294$
now $m=360, n=294$
$m-n=360-294=66$
now $m=294 \mathrm{n}=66$
$m-n=294-66=228$
now $m=66, \mathrm{n}=228$
$\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{m}=228-66=162$
now $m=162, n=66$
$=162-66=96$
$\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{m}=96-66=30$
Similarly, $66-30=36$
$\begin{aligned}
&36-30=6 \\
&30-6=24 \\
&24-6=18 \\
&18-6=12 \\
&12-6=6 \text { now } m=n
\end{aligned}$
$\therefore$ HCF of 1014 and 654 is 6
Question $3 .$
Do the given problems by repeated subtraction method and verify the result.
(i) 56 and 12
.png)
Answcr:
$\operatorname{Let} n=56$ \& $n=12$
$m-n=56-12=44$
now $m=44, n=12$
$m-n=44-12=32$
$m-n=32-12=20$
$m-n=20-12=8$
$n-m=12-84$
$m-n=8-4=4$. now $m=n$
$\therefore \mathrm{HCF}$ of 56 \& 12 is 4
(ii) 320,120 and 95
.png)
Answer:
Let us take $320 \& 120$ first $\mathrm{m}=320, \mathrm{n}=120$
$m-n=320-120=200$
$\mathrm{m}=200, \mathrm{n}=120$
$\therefore \mathrm{m}-\mathrm{n}=200-120=80$
$120-80=40$
$80-40=40$
$\therefore m=n=40 \rightarrow$ HCF of 320,120
Now let us find HCF of $40 \& 95$
$\mathrm{m}=95, \mathrm{n}=40$
$\therefore \mathrm{m}-\mathrm{n}=95-40=55$
$55-40=15$
$40-15=25$
$25-15=10$
$15-10=5$
$\mathrm{HCF}$ of $40 \& 95$ is 5
$10-5=5$
$\therefore \mathrm{HCF}$ of 320120 \& 95 is 5
Question $4 .$
Kalai wants to cut identical squares as big as she can, from a picce of paper measuring $168 \mathrm{~mm}$ and by $196 \mathrm{~mm}$. What is the length of the side of the biggest square? (To find HCF using repeated subtraction method)
Answer:
Sides are 168 \& 196
To find HCF of 168 \& 196 , we are to use repeated subtraction method.
$\begin{aligned}
&\therefore \mathrm{m}=196, \mathrm{n}=168 \\
&\mathrm{~m}-\mathrm{n}=196-168=28
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
&\text { now } n=28, m=168 \\
&m-n=168-28=140
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
&\text { now } m=140, n=28 \\
&m-n=140-28=112
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
&\text { now } m=112, n=28 \\
&m-n=112-28=84
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
&n o w m=84, n=28 \\
&m-n=84-28=56
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
&\text { now } m=56, n=28 \\
&m-n=56-28=28
\end{aligned}$
$\therefore \mathrm{HCF}$ is 28
$\therefore$ Length of biggest square is 28

Hint:
Given $F(n)$ is a Fibonacei number \& $n=8$
$\therefore \mathrm{F}(8)=\mathrm{F}(7)+\mathrm{F}(6)$ as any term in Fibonacci series is the sum of preceding 2 terms
