HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 525, 230 i.e. 5 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 525, 230 is 5 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 525, 230 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 525, 230 is 5.
HCF(525, 230) = 5
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 525, 230 is 5.
Step 1: Since 525 > 230, we apply the division lemma to 525 and 230, to get
525 = 230 x 2 + 65
Step 2: Since the reminder 230 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 65 and 230, to get
230 = 65 x 3 + 35
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 35, and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 35 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 30 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 5 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 525 and 230 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(30,5) = HCF(35,30) = HCF(65,35) = HCF(230,65) = HCF(525,230) .
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 525, 230?
Answer: HCF of 525, 230 is 5 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 525, 230 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 525, 230 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
