division method

S. Usha Rani · Accepted Answer

$54 \begin{array}{r} 2 \\ 108 \\ \underset{̲}{123} \\ 0 \end{array}$

So, HCF (54,108)=54

Now HCF(54,144)=?

$54 \begin{array}{r} 2 \\ 144 \\ \underset{̲}{108} \\ 36 \begin{array}{r} 1 \\ 54 \\ \underset{̲}{36} \\ 18 \begin{array}{r} 2 \\ 36 \\ \underset{̲}{36} \\ 0 \end{array} \end{array} \end{array}$

So HCF (54,144)=18
