HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 314, 157 i.e. 157 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 314, 157 is 157 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 314, 157 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 314, 157 is 157.
HCF(314, 157) = 157
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 314, 157 is 157.
Step 1: Since 314 > 157, we apply the division lemma to 314 and 157, to get
314 = 157 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 157, the HCF of 314 and 157 is 157
Notice that 157 = HCF(314,157) .
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 314, 157?
Answer: HCF of 314, 157 is 157 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 314, 157 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 314, 157 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
