Answer» Solution:-To find the HCF of 85 and 153, we shall find it by Euclid's Division Lemma.Therefore,153 = 85*1 + 6885 = 68*1 + 17Since the remainder is not equal to zero, we shall again apply Euclid's division lemma.68 = 17*4Now the remainder is zero, thus the HCF of 85 and 153 is 17.17 = 85m - 153Therefore, 85m = 153 + 1785m = 170m = 170/85m =2 Answer. |
