HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 369, 292 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 369, 292 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 369, 292 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 369, 292 is 1.
HCF(369, 292) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 369, 292 is 1.
Step 1: Since 369 > 292, we apply the division lemma to 369 and 292, to get
369 = 292 x 1 + 77
Step 2: Since the reminder 292 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 77 and 292, to get
292 = 77 x 3 + 61
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 77 and the new remainder 61, and apply the division lemma to get
77 = 61 x 1 + 16
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 16 x 3 + 13
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 13 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 3 x 4 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 369 and 292 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(13,3) = HCF(16,13) = HCF(61,16) = HCF(77,61) = HCF(292,77) = HCF(369,292) .
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 369, 292?
Answer: HCF of 369, 292 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 369, 292 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 369, 292 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
