HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 370, 30763 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 370, 30763 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 370, 30763 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 370, 30763 is 1.
HCF(370, 30763) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 370, 30763 is 1.
Step 1: Since 30763 > 370, we apply the division lemma to 30763 and 370, to get
30763 = 370 x 83 + 53
Step 2: Since the reminder 370 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 53 and 370, to get
370 = 53 x 6 + 52
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 53 and the new remainder 52, and apply the division lemma to get
53 = 52 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 52 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
52 = 1 x 52 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 370 and 30763 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(52,1) = HCF(53,52) = HCF(370,53) = HCF(30763,370) .
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 370, 30763?
Answer: HCF of 370, 30763 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 370, 30763 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 370, 30763 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
