Solution

To find H.C.F. of 84, 90 and 120.

Using Euclid’s division algorithm

90 = 84 × 1 + 6

The remainder 6 ≠ 0.

Again using Euclid’s division algorithm

84 = 6 × 14 + 0

The remainder is zero.

∴ The H.C.F. of 84 and 90 is 6. To find the H.C.F. of 6 and 120 using Euclid’s division algorithm.

120 = 6 × 20 + 0

The remainder is zero.

Therefore H.C.F. of 120 and 6 is 6

∴ H.C.F. of 84, 90 and 120 is 6.
