    This document provides instructions for finding the highest common factor (HCF) of two numbers using paper cutting and pasting. Students take strips of colored paper in the lengths of the two given numbers. They place one strip along the other and cut off any excess length. This process is repeated until both strips are the same length, which is the HCF. As an example, the HCF of 24 and 16 is found to be 8 using this method.

    ACTIVITY 4

    To find the HCF of two given numbers, by paper cutting and pasting.
    Learning Objective : To understand the concept of HCF of two umbers.

    Pre-requisite : Comparison of two numbers, knowledge of


    Division algorithm : Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Reminder

    Materials Required : Coloured grid papers (2 different colours say green and red), a pair of
    6
    scissors, glue, a ruler, and a pencil.

    Procedure :

    Step 1. Take any two numbers say 24 and


    16.
    Step 2. Cut out a strip of length 24 units Fig. 4(a)
    using green colour grid paper as
    shown in Fig.4(a).
    Step 3. Cut out another strip of length 16
    units using red colour grid paper as Fig. 4(b)
    shown in Fig. 4(b).
    24 cm
    Step 4. Place the red strip along the green
    strip as shown in the Fig. 4(c) and

    Grade : 6 - Mathmatics Laboratory in Primary & Upper Primary schools


    cut out the remaining part of the
    green strip. 8 cm
    Step 5. Observe that the remaining part of 16 cm
    green strip cut out is of length 8 Fig. 4(c)
    units and is smaller than the red
    colour strip i.e. the strip of length
    16 units.
    Step 6. Now place the smaller cut out strip
    (green) along the larger cut out 8 cm
    strip (red) and cut out the extra Fig. 4(d)
    part (red strip) as shown in Fig.
    4(d).
    Step 7. Repeat the activity till both strips
    are equal.
    8 cm
    Observations : Fig. 4(d)
    (i) In Step 4, the length of the green strip = ............... units
    (ii) In Step 6, the length of the red strip = ............... units
    (iii)Is there any part of any strip left when green strip of length 8 units was placed on the red
    strip?.......... Yes/No
    HCF of 24 and 16 = ............

    Extension : (i) Find the HCF of (i) 40 and 16, (ii) 12, 15 and 6.
