Detailed Solution

H.C.F of 5 numbers by division method the Quotients

Last Quotient is 3 last division is 18

Dividend=Divisor×Quotient+Remainder               =18×3=54

New remainder is 18, Now new divisor = 54, New Quotient is 2

So new dividend =54×2+18

=126

Second new divisor = 126 and new Quotient = 2,  remainder = 54

newdividend=126×2+54

                              =306

So the Numbers are 126, 306
