    Lemma says:

    To calculate the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two positive integers a and b we use Euclid's division algorithm. HCF is the largest number which exactly divides two or more positive integers. By exactly we mean that on dividing both the integers a and b the remainder is zero.

    Given : 135 and 225

    Here, 225>135.

    So, we will divide greater number by smaller number.

    Dividing 225 by 135.

    The quotient is 1 and remainder is 90.

    225=135*1+90

    Divide 135 by 90

    The quotient is 1 and remainder is 45.

    135=90*1+45

    Divide 90 by 45.

    The quotient is 2 and remainder is 0.

    90=2*45+0

    Thus, the HCF is 45.
