Question

Find the HCF of 960 and 432​

Answer 1

48

Explanation:

Using Uclid's division algorithm, the HCF of 960 and 432 can be obtained as follows:

Here, 960 is greater and 432 is smaller. We divide 960 by 432.

STEP 1:

960 = 432*2 + 96

STEP 2:

Divide divisor (432) by remainder (96)

432 = 96 * 4 + 48

STEP 3:

Divide divisor (96) by remainder (48)

96 = 48 * 2 + 0

Since, remainder at this step is zero (0), so the HCF would be the divisor of this step which is 48.

Thus, HCF of 960 and 432 is 48
