HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2915, 2624 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2915, 2624 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 2915, 2624 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 2915, 2624 is 1.
HCF(2915, 2624) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2915, 2624 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2915 > 2624, we apply the division lemma to 2915 and 2624, to get
2915 = 2624 x 1 + 291
Step 2: Since the reminder 2624 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 291 and 2624, to get
2624 = 291 x 9 + 5
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 291 and the new remainder 5, and apply the division lemma to get
291 = 5 x 58 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2915 and 2624 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(291,5) = HCF(2624,291) = HCF(2915,2624) .
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 2915, 2624?
Answer: HCF of 2915, 2624 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 2915, 2624 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 2915, 2624 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
