HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 418, 931 i.e. 19 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 418, 931 is 19 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 418, 931 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 418, 931 is 19.
HCF(418, 931) = 19
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 418, 931 is 19.
Step 1: Since 931 > 418, we apply the division lemma to 931 and 418, to get
931 = 418 x 2 + 95
Step 2: Since the reminder 418 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 95 and 418, to get
418 = 95 x 4 + 38
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 95 and the new remainder 38, and apply the division lemma to get
95 = 38 x 2 + 19
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 19, and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 19 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 19, the HCF of 418 and 931 is 19
Notice that 19 = HCF(38,19) = HCF(95,38) = HCF(418,95) = HCF(931,418) .
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 418, 931?
Answer: HCF of 418, 931 is 19 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 418, 931 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 418, 931 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
