HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 533, 714 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 533, 714 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 533, 714 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 533, 714 is 1.
HCF(533, 714) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 533, 714 is 1.
Step 1: Since 714 > 533, we apply the division lemma to 714 and 533, to get
714 = 533 x 1 + 181
Step 2: Since the reminder 533 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 181 and 533, to get
533 = 181 x 2 + 171
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 181 and the new remainder 171, and apply the division lemma to get
181 = 171 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 171 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
171 = 10 x 17 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 533 and 714 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(171,10) = HCF(181,171) = HCF(533,181) = HCF(714,533) .
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 533, 714?
Answer: HCF of 533, 714 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 533, 714 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 533, 714 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
