HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 452, 703 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 452, 703 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 452, 703 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 452, 703 is 1.
HCF(452, 703) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 452, 703 is 1.
Step 1: Since 703 > 452, we apply the division lemma to 703 and 452, to get
703 = 452 x 1 + 251
Step 2: Since the reminder 452 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 251 and 452, to get
452 = 251 x 1 + 201
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 251 and the new remainder 201, and apply the division lemma to get
251 = 201 x 1 + 50
We consider the new divisor 201 and the new remainder 50,and apply the division lemma to get
201 = 50 x 4 + 1
We consider the new divisor 50 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
50 = 1 x 50 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 452 and 703 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(50,1) = HCF(201,50) = HCF(251,201) = HCF(452,251) = HCF(703,452) .
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 452, 703?
Answer: HCF of 452, 703 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 452, 703 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 452, 703 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
