HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 377, 614 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 377, 614 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, 614 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, 614 is 1.
HCF(377, 614) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 377, 614 is 1.
Step 1: Since 614 > 377, we apply the division lemma to 614 and 377, to get
614 = 377 x 1 + 237
Step 2: Since the reminder 377 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 237 and 377, to get
377 = 237 x 1 + 140
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 237 and the new remainder 140, and apply the division lemma to get
237 = 140 x 1 + 97
We consider the new divisor 140 and the new remainder 97,and apply the division lemma to get
140 = 97 x 1 + 43
We consider the new divisor 97 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
97 = 43 x 2 + 11
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 11 x 3 + 10
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 10 x 1 + 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 377 and 614 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(11,10) = HCF(43,11) = HCF(97,43) = HCF(140,97) = HCF(237,140) = HCF(377,237) = HCF(614,377) .
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, 614?
Answer: HCF of 377, 614 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 377, 614 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 377, 614 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
