Solution

To find the H.C.F. of 867 and 255, Using Euclid’s division algorithm.

867 = 255 × 3 + 102

The remainder 102 ≠ 0.

Again using Euclid’s division algorithm

255 = 102 × 2 + 51

The remainder 51 ≠ 0.

Again using Euclid’s division algorithm

102 = 51 × 2 + 0

The remainder is zero.

Therefore = 51

Therefore the H.C.F. of 867 and 255 is 51.
