(v) 136, 170 and 255 [not available]
(i) Given integers are 225 and 135.
Clearly 225 > 135.
So we will apply Euclid’s division lemma to 225 and 135, we get,
867 = (225) (3) + 192
Since the remainder ≠ 0. So we apply the division lemma to the divisor 135 and remainder 90. We get,
135 = (90) (1) + 45
Now we apply the division lemma to the new divisor 90 and remainder 45. We get,
90 = (45) (2) + 0
The remainder at this stage is 0. So the divisor at this stage is the H.C.F.
So, the H.C.F of 225 and 135 is 45
(ii) Given integers are 38220 and 196. Clearly 38220 > 196.
So we will apply Euclid’s division lemma to 38220 and 196, we get,

Since the remainder 192 ≠ 0. So we apply the division lemma to the divisor 225 and remainder 192. We get,
225 = (192)(1) + 33
Now we apply the division lemma to the new divisor 192 and remainder 33. We get,
192 = (33)(5) + 27
Now we apply the division lemma to the new divisor 33 and remainder 27. We get,

Now we apply the division lemma to the new divisor 27 and remainder 6. We get,
27 = (6)(4) + 3
6 = (3) (2) + 0

(i) We need to find the H.C.F. of 963 and 657 and e×press it as a linear combination of 963 and 657. By applying Euclid’s division lemma, 963 = 657 × 1 + 306.
Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on divisor 657 and remainder 306
657 = 306 × 2 + 45.
Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on divisor 306 and remainder 45
306 = 45 × 6 + 36.

45 = 36 × 1 + 9.
Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on divisor 36 and remainder 9
36 = 9 × 4 + 0.
Therefore, H.C.F. = 9.
Now, 9 = 45 – 36 × 1
= 45 – [306 – 45 × 6] × 1 = 45 – 306 × 1 + 45 × 6
= 45 × 7 – 306 × 1 = [657 - 306 × 2] × 7 – 306 × 1
= 657 × 7 – 306 × 14 – 306 × 1
= 657 × 7 – 306 × 15
= 657 × 7 – [963 – 657 × 1] × 15
= 657 × 7 – 963 × 15 + 657 × 15
= 657 × 22 – 963 × 15.
Hence, obtained.
(ii) We need to find the H.C.F. of 592 and 252 and e×press it as a linear combination of 592 and 252.

88 = 76 × 1 + 12
Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on divisor 76 and remainder 12
76 = 12 × 6 + 4
Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on divisor 12 and remainder 4
12 = 4 × 3 + 0.
Therefore, H.C.F. = 4.
Now, 4 = 76 – 12 × 6
= 76 – 88 – 76 × 1 × 6
= 76 – 88 × 6 + 76 × 6
= 76 × 7 – 88 × 6
= 252 – 88 × 2 × 7 – 88 × 6
= 252 × 7- 88 × 14 - 88 × 6
= 252 × 7- 88 × 20
= 252 × 7 – 592 – 252 × 2 × 20
= 252 × 7 – 592 × 20 + 252 × 40
= 252 × 47 – 592 × 20
= 252 × 47 + 592 × (-20)
Hence obtained.
(iii) We need to find the H.C.F. of 506 and 1155 and e×press it as a linear combination of 506 and 1155. By applying Euclid’s division lemma
1155 = 506 × 2 + 143.

143 = 77 × 1 + 66.
Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on divisor 77 and remainder 66
77 = 66 × 1 + 11.
Since remainder ≠ 0, apply division lemma on divisor 66 and remainder 11
66 = 11 × 6 + 0.
Therefore, H.C.F. = 11.
Now, 11 = 77 – 66 × 1 = 77—[143 – 77 × 1] × 1
= 77 – 143 × 1 + 77 × 1
= 77 × 2 – 143 × 1
= [506 – 143 × 3] × 2 – 143 × 1
= 506 × 2 – 143 × 6 – 143 × 1
= 506 × 2 – 143 × 7 = 506 × 2 – [1155 – 506 × 2] × 7 = 506 × 2 – 1155 × 7+ 506 × 14
= 506 × 16 – 1155 × 7
(iv) We need to find the H.C.F. of 1288 and 575 and express it as a linear combination of 1288 and 575. By applying Euclid’s division lemma
1288 = 575 × 2 + 138.
575 = 138 × 4 + 23.
138 = 23 × 6 + 0.
Therefore, H.C.F. = 23.
Now, 23 = 575 – 138 × 4 = 575—[1288 – 575 × 2] × 4
= 575 – 1288 × 4 + 575 × 8

We need to find the largest number which divides 615 and 963 leaving remainder 6 in each case.
The required number when divides 615 and 963, leaves remainder 6, this means 615 — 6 = 609 and 963 — 6 = 957 are completely divisible by the number.
Therefore,
The required number = H.C.F. of 609 and 957.
957 = 609 × 1+ 348
609 = 348 × 1 + 261
348 = 216 × 1 + 87
261 = 87 × 3 + 0.
Therefore, H.C.F. = 87.
Hence, the required number is 87

Given integers are 408 and 1032 where 408 < 1032
By applying Euclid’s division lemma, we get 1032 = 408 × 2 + 216.
Since the remainder ≠ 0, so apply division lemma on divisor 408 and remainder 216
408 = 216 × 1 + 192.
Since the remainder ≠ 0, so apply division lemma on divisor 216 and remainder 192
216 = 192 × 1 + 24.
Since the remainder ≠ 0, so apply division lemma on divisor 192 and remainder 24
192 = 24 × 8 + 0.
We observe that remainder is 0. So the last divisor is the H.C.F of 408 and 1032.
24 = 1032 m — 408 × 5
1032 m = 24 + 408 × 5
1032 m = 24 + 2040
1032 m = 2064
m = 2064/1032
m = 2
Therefore, m = 2.

We need to find x if the H.C.F of 657 and 963 is expressible in the form 657x + 963y (-15).
Given integers are 657 and 963.
By applying Euclid’s division lemma, we get,
963 = 657 × 1+ 306.

Since the remainder ≠ 0, so apply division lemma on divisor 306 and remainder 45
Since the remainder ≠ 0, so apply division lemma on divisor 45 and remainder 36
Since the remainder ≠ 0, so apply division lemma on divisor 36 and remainder 9
Given H.C.F = 657x + 936 (-15).
Therefore, 9 = 657x —14445
9 + 14445 = 657x
14454 = 657x
x = 14454/657
On solving the above, we have,
× = 22.

We are given that an army contingent of 616 members is to march behind an army band of 32 members in a parade. The two groups are to march in the same number of columns. We need to fund the maximum number of columns in which they can march.
Members in army = 616
Members in band = 32.
Therefore, Maximum number of columns = H.C.F of 616 and 32.
616 = 32 × 19 + 8
32 = 8 × 4 + 0.
Therefore, H.C.F. = 8
Hence, the maximum number of columns in which they can march is 8
A merchant has 120 liters of oil of one kind, 180 liters of another and 240 liters of third kind. He wants to sell the oil by filling the three kinds of oil in tins of equal capacity. What should be the greatest capacity of such a tin?
The merchant has 3 different oils of 120 liters, 180 liters and 240 liters respectively.
So the greatest capacity of the tin for filling three different types of oil is given by the H.C.F. of 120,180 and 240.
So first we will calculate H.C.F of 120 and 180 by Euclid’s division lemma.
180 = (120)(1) + 60
120 = (60)(2) + 0
The divisor at the last step is 60. So the H.C.F of 120 and 180 is 60.
Now we will fund the H.C.F. of 60 and 240,
240 = (60)(4) + 0
The divisor at the last step is 60. So the H.C.F of 240 and 60 is 60.
Therefore, the tin should be of 160 liters.

Hence each box will contain 15/3 = 5 pastries and 2/3 biscuit packs.
105 goats, 140 donkeys and 175 cows have to be taken across a river. There is only one boat which will have to make many trips in order to do so. The lazy boatman has his own conditions for transporting them. He insists that he will take the same number of animals in every trip and they have to be of the same kind. He will naturally like to take the largest possible number each time. Can you tell how many animals went in each trip?
Number of goats = 205
Number of donkey = 140
Number of cows = 175
Therefore, The largest number of animals in one trip = HCF of 105. 140 and 175.
First consider 105 and 140
140 = 105 × 1 + 35
105 = 35 × 3 + 0 4
Therefore, HCF of 105 and 140 = 35
Now consider 35 and 175
175 = 35 × 5 + 0
HCF of 105, 140 and 175 = 35
The length, breadth and height of a room are 8 m 25 cm, 6 m 75 cm and 4 m 50 cm, respectively. Determine the longest rod which can measure the three dimensions of the room exactly.
Length of room = 8m 25 cm = 825 cm
Breadth of room = 6m 75m = 675 cm
Height of room = 4m 50m = 450 cm
The required longest rod = HCF of 825, 675 and 450
First consider 675 and 450
675 = 450 × 1 + 225
450 = 225 × 2 + 0
Therefore, HCF of 675 and 450 = 825
Now consider 625 and 825
By applying Euclid’s division Lemma:
825 = 225 × 3 + 150
225 = 150 × 1 + 75
150 = 75 × 2 + 0
Therefore, HCF of 825, 675 and 450 = 75
Express the HCF of 468 and 222 as 468x + 222y where x, y are integers in two different ways.
We need to express the H.C.F. of 468 and 222 as 468x + 222y
Where x, y are integers in two different ways.
Given integers are 468 and 222, where 468 > 222
By applying Euclid’s division lemma, we get 468 = 222 × 2 + 24.
Since the remainder ≠ 0, so apply division lemma on divisor 222 and remainder 24
222 = 24 × 9 + 6.
Since the remainder ≠ 0, so apply division lemma on divisor 24 and remainder 6
24 = 6 × 4 + 0.
We observe that remainder is 0. So the last divisor 6 is the H.C.F. of 468 and 222 from we have
6 = 222 – 24 × 9
6 = 222 – (468 – 222 × 2) × 9
6 = 222 – 468 × 9 + 222 × 18
6 = 222 × 19 – 468 × 9 [Substituting 24 = 468 — 222 × 2]
16 = 222y + 468×, where × = – 9 and y = 19.
