HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 410, 625 i.e. 5 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 410, 625 is 5 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 410, 625 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 410, 625 is 5.
HCF(410, 625) = 5
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 410, 625 is 5.
Step 1: Since 625 > 410, we apply the division lemma to 625 and 410, to get
625 = 410 x 1 + 215
Step 2: Since the reminder 410 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 215 and 410, to get
410 = 215 x 1 + 195
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 215 and the new remainder 195, and apply the division lemma to get
215 = 195 x 1 + 20
We consider the new divisor 195 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
195 = 20 x 9 + 15
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 15 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 5 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 410 and 625 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(15,5) = HCF(20,15) = HCF(195,20) = HCF(215,195) = HCF(410,215) = HCF(625,410) .
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 410, 625?
Answer: HCF of 410, 625 is 5 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 410, 625 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 410, 625 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
