Euclid's Division Lemma question| Finding HCF and representing it in 1190m and 1445n

 

Question :

Use Euclid's algorithm to find the HCF of 1190 and 1445. Express the HCF in the form 1190m + 1445n.

Solution:

First we will find HCF using the successive division method or Euclid's division algorithm.

Euclid division algorithm successive division method

Step I: As 1445 > 1190, we divide 1445 by 1190 and get 255 as remainder, by Euclid's division lemma, we get 1445 = 1190 x 1 + 255 ...............(i)

Step II: Here the remainder,255 is not equal to 0, we divide 1190 by 255 and get 4 as quotient and 170 as remainder, by Euclid's division lemma, we get 1190 = 255 x 4 + 170 ...................(ii)

Step III: Here again the remainder is not equal to 0, we divide 255 by 170 and get 1 as quotient and 85 as remainder, by Euclid's division lemma, we get 255 = 170 x 1 + 85 .............(iii)

Step IV: Here again the remainder is not equal to 0, we divide 170 by 85 and this time gets remainder 0. 170 = 85 x 2 + 0 ................(iv)

Now the divisor this time is the HCF of 1190 and 1445

Therefore, HCF (1190, 1445)  = 85

Now the second part of the question is to express the HCF in the form of 1190m x 1445n.

For this we will take the equation (iii), as it is the equation in which HCF is left as remainder.

255 = 170 x 1 + 85

Write it in the form of HCF: 85 = 255 - 170 x 1

And solve it to change it in the form  of 1190m x 1445n

85 = 255 - 170
85 = 255 + (255 x 4 - 1190)  {Sign is changed to positive}
85 = 255 + 255 x 4 - 1190
85 = 255 x 5 - 1190
85 = (1445 - 1190) x 5 - 1190
85 = 1445 x 5 - 1190 x 5 -1190
85 = 1445 x 5 + 1190(-5 -1)
85 = 1190(-6) + 1445(5)

Hence the HCF 85 is written  in the form of 1190m x 1445n.
