Determining HCF of Numbers 48,84 by Euclid's Division Lemma

Below detailed show work will make you learn how to find HCF of 48,84 using the Euclidean division algorithm. So, follow the step by step explanation & check the answer for HCF(48,84).

Here 84 is greater than 48

Now, consider the largest number as 'a' from the given number ie., 84 and 48 satisfy Euclid's division lemma statement a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r < b

Step 1: Since 84 > 48, we apply the division lemma to 84 and 48, to get

84 = 48 x 1 + 36

Step 2: Since the reminder 48 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 36 and 48, to get

48 = 36 x 1 + 12

Step 3: We consider the new divisor 36 and the new remainder 12, and apply the division lemma to get

36 = 12 x 3 + 0

The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 12, the HCF of 48 and 84 is 12

Notice that 12 = HCF(36,12) = HCF(48,36) = HCF(84,48) .

Therefore, HCF of 48,84 using Euclid's division lemma is 12.
