HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 44, 84, 569 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 44, 84, 569 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 44, 84, 569 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 44, 84, 569 is 1.
HCF(44, 84, 569) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 44, 84, 569 is 1.
Step 1: Since 84 > 44, we apply the division lemma to 84 and 44, to get
84 = 44 x 1 + 40
Step 2: Since the reminder 44 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 40 and 44, to get
44 = 40 x 1 + 4
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 40 and the new remainder 4, and apply the division lemma to get
40 = 4 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 44 and 84 is 4
Notice that 4 = HCF(40,4) = HCF(44,40) = HCF(84,44) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 569 > 4, we apply the division lemma to 569 and 4, to get
569 = 4 x 142 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 4 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 4, to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4 and 569 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(569,4) .
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 44, 84, 569?
Answer: HCF of 44, 84, 569 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 44, 84, 569 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 44, 84, 569 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
