HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 194, 305 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 194, 305 is 1 the largest number which exactly divides all the numbers i.e. where the remainder is zero. Let us get into the working of this example.
Consider we have numbers 194, 305 and we need to find the HCF of these numbers. To do so, we need to choose the largest integer first and then as per Euclid's Division Lemma a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r ≤ b
Highest common factor (HCF) of 194, 305 is 1.
HCF(194, 305) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 194, 305 is 1.
Step 1: Since 305 > 194, we apply the division lemma to 305 and 194, to get
305 = 194 x 1 + 111
Step 2: Since the reminder 194 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 111 and 194, to get
194 = 111 x 1 + 83
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 111 and the new remainder 83, and apply the division lemma to get
111 = 83 x 1 + 28
We consider the new divisor 83 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
83 = 28 x 2 + 27
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 27 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 1 x 27 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 194 and 305 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(27,1) = HCF(28,27) = HCF(83,28) = HCF(111,83) = HCF(194,111) = HCF(305,194) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 194, 305?
Answer: HCF of 194, 305 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 194, 305 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 194, 305 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
