HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 352, 385, 67 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 352, 385, 67 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 352, 385, 67 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 352, 385, 67 is 1.
HCF(352, 385, 67) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 352, 385, 67 is 1.
Step 1: Since 385 > 352, we apply the division lemma to 385 and 352, to get
385 = 352 x 1 + 33
Step 2: Since the reminder 352 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 33 and 352, to get
352 = 33 x 10 + 22
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 22, and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 22 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 11, and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 11 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 11, the HCF of 352 and 385 is 11
Notice that 11 = HCF(22,11) = HCF(33,22) = HCF(352,33) = HCF(385,352) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 67 > 11, we apply the division lemma to 67 and 11, to get
67 = 11 x 6 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 11 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 11, to get
11 = 1 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 11 and 67 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(11,1) = HCF(67,11) .
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 352, 385, 67?
Answer: HCF of 352, 385, 67 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 352, 385, 67 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 352, 385, 67 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
