Information Processing Exercise 7.2 Solutions :
Question no – (1)
Using repeated division method, find the HCF of the following
(i) 455 and 26
(ii) 392 and 256
(iii) 6765 and 610
(iv) 184, 230 and 276
Solution :
(i) 455/26
= 13
∴ HCF is 13.
(ii) 392/256 = 8
∴ HCF is 8
(iii) 6765/610 = 5
∴ HCF is 5.
(iv) 230/184 = 46 then again 276/46 = 6
∴ HCF is 46
Tips : to find H.C.F.
Take a rough page
decide the big number by smaller number.
If reminder come, then the divisor divide again by that reminder.
Ultimately when the reminder will come 0.
Then that Divisor is the H.C.F of that problem.
Question no – (2)
(2) Using repeated subtraction method, find the HCF of the following
(i) 42 and 70
(ii) 36 and 80
(iii) 280 and 420
(iv) 1014 and 654
Solution :
(i) 42 and 70
Take m = 70 and n = 42
∴ m > n
Now, subtract until m = n
m-n = 70 – 42 = 28
and 42-28 = 14
and 28 -14 = 14
and 14-14 = 0
HCF of 70 and 42 is 14.
(ii) 36 and 80
Take m = 80 and n = 36
Here m > n
∴ Subtract until m = n
80 – 36 = 44
and 44 – 36 = 8
and 36 – 8 = 28
and 28 – 8 = 20
and 20 – 8 = 12
and 12 – 8 = 4
and 8 – 4 = 4
and 4 – 4 = 0
∴ HCF of 36 and 80 = 4
(iii) 280 and 420
Take m = 420 and n = 280 m > n
Subtract –
420 – 280 = 140
and 280 – 140 = 140
and 140 – 140 = 0
∴ HCF of 280 and 420 is 140.
(iv) 1014 and 654
Take m = 1014 and n = 654
Subtract,
1014 – 654 = 360
and 654 – 360 = 294
and 360 – 294 = 66
and 294 – 66 = 228
and 228 – 66 = 162
and 162 = 66 = 96
and 96 – 66 = 30
and 66 – 30 = 36
and 36 – 30 = 6
and 30 – 6 = 24
and 24 – 6 = 18
and 18 – 6 = 12
and 12 – 6 = 6
and 6 – 6 = 0
∴ HCF of 1014 and 654 is 6
Question no – (3)
Do the given problems by repeated subtraction method and verify the result
(i) 56 and 12
(ii) 320, 120 and 95
Solution :
(i) 56/12 = 4
∴ HCF is 4
(ii) 320, 120 and 95
= 320/120 = 40
Then again,
95/40 = 5
∴ HCF is 5
Tips : to find H.C.F.
Take a rough page
divide the big number by smaller number.
If reminder come , then the divisor divide again by that reminder.
Ultimately when the reminder will come O.
Then that Divisor is the H.C.F of that problem.
Question no – (4)
Kalai wants to cut identical squares as big as she can, from a piece of paper measuring 168 mm and by 196 mm. What is the length of the side of the biggest square? (To find HCF using repeated subtraction method)
Solution :
To find HCF of 168 and 196 use repeated subtraction method –
m = 196, n = 168,
m > n
∴ Subtraction,
196 – 168 = 28
and 168 – 28 = 140
and 140 – 28 = 112
and 112 – 28 = 84
and 84 – 28 = 56
and 56 – 28 = 28
and 28 – 28 = 0
∴ The length of the side of the biggest square is 28.
