HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 275, 935, 226 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 275, 935, 226 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 275, 935, 226 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 275, 935, 226 is 1.
HCF(275, 935, 226) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 275, 935, 226 is 1.
Step 1: Since 935 > 275, we apply the division lemma to 935 and 275, to get
935 = 275 x 3 + 110
Step 2: Since the reminder 275 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 110 and 275, to get
275 = 110 x 2 + 55
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 110 and the new remainder 55, and apply the division lemma to get
110 = 55 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 55, the HCF of 275 and 935 is 55
Notice that 55 = HCF(110,55) = HCF(275,110) = HCF(935,275) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 226 > 55, we apply the division lemma to 226 and 55, to get
226 = 55 x 4 + 6
Step 2: Since the reminder 55 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 6 and 55, to get
55 = 6 x 9 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 55 and 226 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(55,6) = HCF(226,55) .
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 275, 935, 226?
Answer: HCF of 275, 935, 226 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 275, 935, 226 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 275, 935, 226 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
