So , we find whole numbers π πππ π such that π = ππ + π, 0 β€ π < π. 2. If π = 0 , d is the HCF of π and π . If π β 0 apply the division lemma to π and π . 3. Continue the process till the remainder is zero . The divisor at this stage will be the required HCF .
Β Example :- Using Euclid β s division algorithm find the HCF of 12576 and 4052 . Ans. Since 12576 > 4052 we apply the division lemma to 12576 and 4052 to get 12576 = 4052 Γ 3 + 420 Since the remainder 420 β 0 , we apply the division lemma to 4052 and 420 to get 4052 = 420 Γ 9 + 272 We consider the new divisor 420 and new remainder 272 apply the division lemma to get 420 = 272 Γ 1 + 148 Now we continue this process till remainder is zero . 272 = 148 Γ 1 + 124 148 = 124 Γ 1 + 24 124 = 24 Γ 5 + 4 24 = 4 Γ 6 + 0 The remainder has now become 0 , so our procedure stops . Since the divisor at this stage is 4 , the HCF of 12576 and 4052 is 4 .

Proof: Let us assume on contrary that β2 is rational number then we can write β2= a/b where a and b are co-prime. β2 = π /π (π β 0) squaring on both sides 2 = π 2 / π 2 2 π 2 = π 2 . Here 2 divides π 2 , so it also divides π . So we can write a=2c for some integer c.
Β Substituting for π we get 2π 2 = 4c 2 that is π 2 = 2c 2 . Here 2 divides π 2 , so it also divides π .This creates a contradiction that a and Β b have no common factors other than 1. This contradiction has arisen because of our wrong assumption. So we conclude that β2 is a irrational number .
