Determining HCF of Numbers 20,52 by Euclid's Division Lemma

Below detailed show work will make you learn how to find HCF of 20,52 using the Euclidean division algorithm. So, follow the step by step explanation & check the answer for HCF(20,52).

Here 52 is greater than 20

Now, consider the largest number as 'a' from the given number ie., 52 and 20 satisfy Euclid's division lemma statement a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r < b

Step 1: Since 52 > 20, we apply the division lemma to 52 and 20, to get

52 = 20 x 2 + 12

Step 2: Since the reminder 20 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 12 and 20, to get

20 = 12 x 1 + 8

Step 3: We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 8, and apply the division lemma to get

12 = 8 x 1 + 4

We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 4, and apply the division lemma to get

8 = 4 x 2 + 0

The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 20 and 52 is 4

Notice that 4 = HCF(8,4) = HCF(12,8) = HCF(20,12) = HCF(52,20) .

Therefore, HCF of 20,52 using Euclid's division lemma is 4.
