HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 522, 75565 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 522, 75565 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 522, 75565 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 522, 75565 is 1.
HCF(522, 75565) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 522, 75565 is 1.
Step 1: Since 75565 > 522, we apply the division lemma to 75565 and 522, to get
75565 = 522 x 144 + 397
Step 2: Since the reminder 522 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 397 and 522, to get
522 = 397 x 1 + 125
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 397 and the new remainder 125, and apply the division lemma to get
397 = 125 x 3 + 22
We consider the new divisor 125 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
125 = 22 x 5 + 15
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 15 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 7 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 1 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 522 and 75565 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(15,7) = HCF(22,15) = HCF(125,22) = HCF(397,125) = HCF(522,397) = HCF(75565,522) .
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 522, 75565?
Answer: HCF of 522, 75565 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 522, 75565 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 522, 75565 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
