Solution:
i. 25, 40

∴ 25 = 5 × 5
40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
∴ HCF of 25 and 40 = 5

ii. 56, 32

∴ 56 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 7
32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
∴ HCF of 56 and 32 = 2 × 2 × 2
∴ HCF of 56 and 32 = 8

iii. 40, 60, 75

∴ 40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
75 = 3 × 5 × 5
∴ HCF of 40, 60 and 75 = 5

iv. 16, 27

∴ 16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 1
27 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 1
∴ HCF of 16 and 27 = 1

v. 18, 32,48

∴ 18 = 2 × 3 × 3
32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
∴ HCF of 18, 32 and 48 = 2

vi. 105, 154

∴ 105 = 3 × 5 × 7
154 = 2 × 2 × 11
∴ HCF of 105 and 154 = 7

vii. 42, 45, 48

∴ 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
45 = 3 × 3 × 5
48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
∴ HCF of 42,45 and 48 =3

viii. 57, 75, 102

∴ 57 = 3 × 19
75 = 3 × 5 × 5
102 = 2 × 3 × 17
∴ HCF of 57, 75 and 102 = 3

ix. 56, 57

∴ 56 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 1
57 = 3 × 19 × 1
∴ HCF of 56 and 57 = 1

x. 777, 315, 588

∴ 777 = 3 × 7 × 37
315 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 7
588 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 × 7
∴ HCF of 777, 315 and 588 = 3 × 7
HCF of 777, 315 and 588 = 21

Question 2.
