HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 253, 96140 i.e. 253 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 253, 96140 is 253 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 253, 96140 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 253, 96140 is 253.
HCF(253, 96140) = 253
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 253, 96140 is 253.
Step 1: Since 96140 > 253, we apply the division lemma to 96140 and 253, to get
96140 = 253 x 380 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 253, the HCF of 253 and 96140 is 253
Notice that 253 = HCF(96140,253) .
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 253, 96140?
Answer: HCF of 253, 96140 is 253 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 253, 96140 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 253, 96140 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
