(2) Euclid’s division algorithm: To obtain the HCF of two positive integers, say c and d, with c
> d, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Apply Euclid’s division lemma, to c and d. So, we find whole numbers, q and r such that c = dq +
r, 0 ≤ r < d.
Step 2: If r = 0, d is the HCF of c and d. If r ≠ 0, apply the division lemma to d and r.
Step 3: Continue the process till the remainder is zero. The divisor at this stage will be the required HCF.
For Example: Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of 135 and 225.
Step 1: Here 225 > 135, on applying the division lemma to 225 and 135, we get 225 = 135 x 1 + 90
Step 2: Since, remainder ≠ 0, we again apply division lemma to 135 and 90, we get 135 = 90 x 1 + 45
Step 3: Again, applying division lemma to 90 and 45, we get 90 = 45 x 2 + 0
The remainder has become zero. And since the divisor at this step is 45, the HCF of 135 and 225 is 45.

For Example: Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3, where q is some
integer. Call us: 8287971571,0261-4890014
Let a be any positive odd integer. And we apply division algorithm with a and b = 4.

As 0 ≤ r < 4, the possible remainders could be 0, 1, 2 and 3.
So, a can be 4q, or 4q + 1, or 4q + 2, or 4q + 3, where q is the quotient.
Your Name
Now, since a is odd, so a cannot be 4q or 4q + 2 (as both are divisible by 2).
Hence, any odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3.

For Example: The prime factors of 32760 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 13 = 23 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 13.
For Example: Find the HCF and LCM of 96 and 404 by prime factorisation method.
The prime factorisation of 96 is 25 x 3. And that of 404 is 22 x 101.
Hence, HCF of 96 and 404 will be 22 = 4.
Now, LCM (96, 404) = (96 x 404)/(HCF (96, 404)) = (96 x 404)/4Send = 9696.
For Example: Check whether 6n can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.
If a number ends with digit 0, then, it must be divisible by 10 or in other words, it will be divisible by 2
and 5 as 10 = 2 x 5.
Now, prime factorisation of 6n = (2 x 3)n.
Here, 5 is not in the prime factorisation of 6n. Hence, for any value of n, 6n will not be divisible by 5.
Thus, 6n cannot end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.
Theorem 2: √2 is irrational.
Call us:
Proof: We shall start by assuming √2 as rational. In other words, we8287971571,0261-4890014
need to find integers x and y such
that √2 = x/y.
Or, Fill out the form & get a call back.!
(i) Let x and y have a common factor other than 1, and so we can divide by that common factor and
assume that x and y are coprime. So, y√2 = x.

(ii) Squaring both side, we get, 2y2 = x2.
(iii) Thus, 2 divides x2. and by theorem we can say that 2 divides x.
(iv) Hence, x = 2z for some integer z. your@email*
(v) Substituting x, we get, 2x2 = 4z2e. y2 = 4z2; which means y2 is divisible by 2, and so y will also be
divisible by 2.

(vi) Now, from theorem, x and y will have 2 as a common factor. But, it is opposite to fact that x and y are
co-prime.
(vii) Hence, we can conclude √2 is irrational. ---

Theorem 2: Let x = p/q be a rational number, such that the prime factorisation of q is of the form 2n 5m,
where n, m are non-negative integers. Then x has a decimalCall us: 8287971571,0261-4890014

For Example: The following real number has decimal expansions as given below. Decide whether it is
rational or not. If it is rational, and of the form, p/q what can you say about the prime factors of q?
Here, as the decimal expansion is non-terminating recurring, the given number is a rational number of the
form p/q.
Moreover, q is not of the form 2n 5m, hence, prime factors of q will also have factors other than 2 or 5.
