HCF of 391, 425, and 527 by Division Method

To find the highest common factor (HCF) of the numbers 391, 425, and 527 using the division method, we need to follow the steps below:

1. Step 1: We will start by dividing the largest number (527) by the two smaller numbers (391 and 425) one by one.
2. Step 2: First, divide 527 by 425:

   527 ÷ 425 = 1 (remainder 102)

3. Step 3: Now we will take the divisor (425) and the remainder (102) and divide:

   425 ÷ 102 = 4 (remainder 17)

4. Step 4: Next, we will divide the last divisor (102) by the latest remainder (17):

   102 ÷ 17 = 6 (remainder 0)

5. Step 5: We stop here because we have reached a remainder of 0. The last non-zero remainder is 17, which is the HCF of 391, 425, and 527.

Conclusion: The HCF of 391, 425, and 527 using the division method is 17.
