HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 377, 47610 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 377, 47610 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 377, 47610 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 377, 47610 is 1.
HCF(377, 47610) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 377, 47610 is 1.
Step 1: Since 47610 > 377, we apply the division lemma to 47610 and 377, to get
47610 = 377 x 126 + 108
Step 2: Since the reminder 377 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 108 and 377, to get
377 = 108 x 3 + 53
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 108 and the new remainder 53, and apply the division lemma to get
108 = 53 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 53 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
53 = 2 x 26 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 377 and 47610 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(53,2) = HCF(108,53) = HCF(377,108) = HCF(47610,377) .
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 377, 47610?
Answer: HCF of 377, 47610 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 377, 47610 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 377, 47610 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
