HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 485, 26061 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 485, 26061 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 485, 26061 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 485, 26061 is 1.
HCF(485, 26061) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 485, 26061 is 1.
Step 1: Since 26061 > 485, we apply the division lemma to 26061 and 485, to get
26061 = 485 x 53 + 356
Step 2: Since the reminder 485 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 356 and 485, to get
485 = 356 x 1 + 129
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 356 and the new remainder 129, and apply the division lemma to get
356 = 129 x 2 + 98
We consider the new divisor 129 and the new remainder 98,and apply the division lemma to get
129 = 98 x 1 + 31
We consider the new divisor 98 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
98 = 31 x 3 + 5
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 5 x 6 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 485 and 26061 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(31,5) = HCF(98,31) = HCF(129,98) = HCF(356,129) = HCF(485,356) = HCF(26061,485) .
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 485, 26061?
Answer: HCF of 485, 26061 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 485, 26061 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 485, 26061 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
