HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 43, 32, 99, 34 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 43, 32, 99, 34 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 43, 32, 99, 34 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 43, 32, 99, 34 is 1.
HCF(43, 32, 99, 34) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 43, 32, 99, 34 is 1.
Step 1: Since 43 > 32, we apply the division lemma to 43 and 32, to get
43 = 32 x 1 + 11
Step 2: Since the reminder 32 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 11 and 32, to get
32 = 11 x 2 + 10
Step 3: 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 43 and 32 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(11,10) = HCF(32,11) = HCF(43,32) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 99 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 99 and 1, to get
99 = 1 x 99 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 99 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(99,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 34 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 34 and 1, to get
34 = 1 x 34 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 34 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(34,1) .
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 43, 32, 99, 34?
Answer: HCF of 43, 32, 99, 34 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 43, 32, 99, 34 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 43, 32, 99, 34 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
