Chapter 1 Real Numbers Exercise 1.1
The questions in Class 10 Maths Exercise 1.1 Chapter 1 are from Euclid’s Division Lemma which states that in given positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r satisfying a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b. A lemma is a proven statement used for proving another statement. Euclid’s division algorithm is based on this lemma. This algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two given positive integers. There are various steps to obtain the HCF of two positive integers, say c and d, with c > d, through this algorithm:
- 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.
This algorithm works because HCF (c, d) = HCF (d, r) where the symbol HCF (c, d) denotes the HCF of c and d, etc. By following this algorithm, you have to solve Exercise 1.1.
