HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 300, 28524 i.e. 12 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 300, 28524 is 12 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 300, 28524 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 300, 28524 is 12.
HCF(300, 28524) = 12
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 300, 28524 is 12.
Step 1: Since 28524 > 300, we apply the division lemma to 28524 and 300, to get
28524 = 300 x 95 + 24
Step 2: Since the reminder 300 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 24 and 300, to get
300 = 24 x 12 + 12
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 12, and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 12 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 12, the HCF of 300 and 28524 is 12
Notice that 12 = HCF(24,12) = HCF(300,24) = HCF(28524,300) .
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 300, 28524?
Answer: HCF of 300, 28524 is 12 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 300, 28524 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 300, 28524 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
