Find the HCF of the following pair of integers and express it as a linear combination of them: 1288 and 575
Given: 1288 and 575.
To do: Here we have to find the HCF of the given pair of integers and express it as a linear combination.
Solution:
Using Euclid's division algorithm to find HCF:
Using Euclid’s lemma to get:
- $1288\ =\ 575\ \times\ 2\ +\ 138$ ...(i)
Now, consider the divisor 575 and the remainder 138, and apply the division lemma to get:
- $575\ =\ 138\ \times\ 4\ +\ 23$ ...(ii)
Now, consider the divisor 138 and the remainder 23, and apply the division lemma to get:
- $138\ =\ 23\ \times\ 6\ +\ 0$ ...(iii)
The remainder has become zero, and we cannot proceed any further.
Therefore the HCF of 1288 and 575 is the divisor at this stage, i.e., 23.
Expressing the HCF as a linear combination of 963 and 657:
$23\ =\ 575\ –\ 138\ \times\ 4$ {from equation (ii)}
$23\ =\ 575\ –\ [1288\ –\ 575\ \times\ 2]\ \times\ 4$ {from equation (i)}
$23\ =\ 575\ –\ 1288\ \times\ 4\ +\ 575\ \times\ 8$
$\mathbf{23\ =\ 575\ \times\ 9\ –\ 1288\ \times\ 4}$
So, HCF of 1288 and 575 is 23 and it can be expressed as $23\ =\ 575\ \times\ 9\ –\ 1288\ \times\ 4$.
