HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2375, 231 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2375, 231 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 2375, 231 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 2375, 231 is 1.
HCF(2375, 231) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2375, 231 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2375 > 231, we apply the division lemma to 2375 and 231, to get
2375 = 231 x 10 + 65
Step 2: Since the reminder 231 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 65 and 231, to get
231 = 65 x 3 + 36
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 36, and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 36 x 1 + 29
We consider the new divisor 36 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
36 = 29 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 7 x 4 + 1
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 1 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2375 and 231 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(29,7) = HCF(36,29) = HCF(65,36) = HCF(231,65) = HCF(2375,231) .
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 2375, 231?
Answer: HCF of 2375, 231 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 2375, 231 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 2375, 231 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
