Find the HCF of the following by the successive division method.540, 9468, 10200.

Given :

The given numbers are 540, 9468, 10200.

To do :

We have to find the HCF of the given numbers.

Solution :

To find the H.C.F. of the given numbers by division method follow the below steps:

1. Divide the bigger number by the smaller ones.
2. Divide a smaller number in step 1 with the remainder obtained in step 1.
3. Divide divisor of the second step with the remainder obtained in step 2.
4. Continue this process till you get remainder zero and the divisor obtained in the end is the required H.C.F.
