Good morning friends, welcome to the discussion class of the concept of successive division. You may find a few questions on successive division after the discussion of LCM and HCF. Before starting with a session, first of all, we have to understand what do we mean by this term successive division. I may start with an example. With that example, you may understand what actually is successive division. Suppose one number is there, that is 72. You are dividing this number by five. We can say this will go on 14 and the remainder left is equal to 2. When I divide this number now by 3, it will go on 4 and remainder left is 2. Now, if I divide this number by 2, it will go on 2 and the remainder is 0. So, what I can say here now, I can simply say that when 72 is successively divided by 5, 3, and 2, it leaves a remainder of 2, 2, and 0, respectively. This means what is the meaning of successive division. Now, what we can say is successive division means with a first divisor, we divide it and we get quotient. The next divisor will divide the quotient. Now the next question is for now further I divide this 4 by 2 and these are the remainders. I can say that in this case when 72 is successively divided by 5, 3, and 2, it leaves remainders of 2, 2, and 0, respectively. So, that is the actual meaning of successive division. In this, we don't divide the given number by 5, 3, 2 individually. We divide first 72 by 5, then whatever quotient we have, we divide 3 with that quotient, then we divide by 2, and finally, whatever the remainder we are getting, that is...
