HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 478, 357 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 478, 357 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 478, 357 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 478, 357 is 1.
HCF(478, 357) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 478, 357 is 1.
Step 1: Since 478 > 357, we apply the division lemma to 478 and 357, to get
478 = 357 x 1 + 121
Step 2: Since the reminder 357 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 121 and 357, to get
357 = 121 x 2 + 115
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 121 and the new remainder 115, and apply the division lemma to get
121 = 115 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 115 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
115 = 6 x 19 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 478 and 357 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(115,6) = HCF(121,115) = HCF(357,121) = HCF(478,357) .
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 478, 357?
Answer: HCF of 478, 357 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 478, 357 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 478, 357 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
