HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 335, 178, 922 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 335, 178, 922 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 335, 178, 922 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 335, 178, 922 is 1.
HCF(335, 178, 922) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 335, 178, 922 is 1.
Step 1: Since 335 > 178, we apply the division lemma to 335 and 178, to get
335 = 178 x 1 + 157
Step 2: Since the reminder 178 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 157 and 178, to get
178 = 157 x 1 + 21
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 157 and the new remainder 21, and apply the division lemma to get
157 = 21 x 7 + 10
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 10 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 335 and 178 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(21,10) = HCF(157,21) = HCF(178,157) = HCF(335,178) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 922 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 922 and 1, to get
922 = 1 x 922 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 922 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(922,1) .
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 335, 178, 922?
Answer: HCF of 335, 178, 922 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 335, 178, 922 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 335, 178, 922 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
