HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 210, 602, 799 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 210, 602, 799 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 210, 602, 799 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 210, 602, 799 is 1.
HCF(210, 602, 799) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 210, 602, 799 is 1.
Step 1: Since 602 > 210, we apply the division lemma to 602 and 210, to get
602 = 210 x 2 + 182
Step 2: Since the reminder 210 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 182 and 210, to get
210 = 182 x 1 + 28
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 182 and the new remainder 28, and apply the division lemma to get
182 = 28 x 6 + 14
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 14, and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 14 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 14, the HCF of 210 and 602 is 14
Notice that 14 = HCF(28,14) = HCF(182,28) = HCF(210,182) = HCF(602,210) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 799 > 14, we apply the division lemma to 799 and 14, to get
799 = 14 x 57 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 14 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 14, to get
14 = 1 x 14 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 14 and 799 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(14,1) = HCF(799,14) .
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 210, 602, 799?
Answer: HCF of 210, 602, 799 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 210, 602, 799 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 210, 602, 799 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
