Detailed Solution

Given,
The numbers are 466 and 361.
Let a=466   and b=361  ,
Now as we know,
Euclid division lemma states that if we have two numbers a and b, then there exist unique integers p and q which satisfies the condition a=bq+r,0r<b  .
Using Euclid division lemma algorithm, we get,
466=361×1+105    361=105×3+46    105=46×2+13    46=13×3+7    13=7×1+6    7=6×1+1    6=1×6+0   HCF=1  
Therefore H.C.F of 466 and 361 is 1.
Therefore, option(3)     is correct answer.
