HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 564, 871 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 564, 871 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 564, 871 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 564, 871 is 1.
HCF(564, 871) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 564, 871 is 1.
Step 1: Since 871 > 564, we apply the division lemma to 871 and 564, to get
871 = 564 x 1 + 307
Step 2: Since the reminder 564 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 307 and 564, to get
564 = 307 x 1 + 257
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 307 and the new remainder 257, and apply the division lemma to get
307 = 257 x 1 + 50
We consider the new divisor 257 and the new remainder 50,and apply the division lemma to get
257 = 50 x 5 + 7
We consider the new divisor 50 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
50 = 7 x 7 + 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 564 and 871 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(50,7) = HCF(257,50) = HCF(307,257) = HCF(564,307) = HCF(871,564) .
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 564, 871?
Answer: HCF of 564, 871 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 564, 871 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 564, 871 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
