Find the HCF of 65and 117 and express it in form of 65m+117n


Open in App
Solution

Step 1 : Find the HCF of given numbers

Given integers are65 and 117such that ,117>65

Applying division lemma to 65and 117, we get
117=65×1+52
Since the remainder is 520. So, apply the division lemma to the divisor 65 and the remainder 52 to get
65=52×1+13
We consider the new divisor 52 and the new remainder 13 and apply division lemma, to get
52=13×4+0
At this stage the remainder is zero. So, that last divisor or the non-zero remainder at the earlier stage i.e. 13is the HCF of 65 and 117.

Step 2 : Express the HCF in form of given expression

Given expression: 65m+117n
We can write the HCF of 65 and 117as,
13=6552×113=65(11765×1)13=65117+65×113=65×2+117×(1)
13=65m+117n, where m=2 and n=1.

Hence, the HCF of 65 and 117 is 13and it can be expressed as 13=65m+117n, where m=2 and n=1.
