HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 310, 61314 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 310, 61314 is 2 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 310, 61314 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 310, 61314 is 2.
HCF(310, 61314) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 310, 61314 is 2.
Step 1: Since 61314 > 310, we apply the division lemma to 61314 and 310, to get
61314 = 310 x 197 + 244
Step 2: Since the reminder 310 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 244 and 310, to get
310 = 244 x 1 + 66
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 244 and the new remainder 66, and apply the division lemma to get
244 = 66 x 3 + 46
We consider the new divisor 66 and the new remainder 46,and apply the division lemma to get
66 = 46 x 1 + 20
We consider the new divisor 46 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
46 = 20 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 6 x 3 + 2
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 2 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 310 and 61314 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(6,2) = HCF(20,6) = HCF(46,20) = HCF(66,46) = HCF(244,66) = HCF(310,244) = HCF(61314,310) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
