HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 476, 352 i.e. 4 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 476, 352 is 4 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 476, 352 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 476, 352 is 4.
HCF(476, 352) = 4
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 476, 352 is 4.
Step 1: Since 476 > 352, we apply the division lemma to 476 and 352, to get
476 = 352 x 1 + 124
Step 2: Since the reminder 352 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 124 and 352, to get
352 = 124 x 2 + 104
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 124 and the new remainder 104, and apply the division lemma to get
124 = 104 x 1 + 20
We consider the new divisor 104 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
104 = 20 x 5 + 4
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 4 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 476 and 352 is 4
Notice that 4 = HCF(20,4) = HCF(104,20) = HCF(124,104) = HCF(352,124) = HCF(476,352) .
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 476, 352?
Answer: HCF of 476, 352 is 4 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 476, 352 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 476, 352 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
