HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 567, 800 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 567, 800 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 567, 800 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 567, 800 is 1.
HCF(567, 800) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 567, 800 is 1.
Step 1: Since 800 > 567, we apply the division lemma to 800 and 567, to get
800 = 567 x 1 + 233
Step 2: Since the reminder 567 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 233 and 567, to get
567 = 233 x 2 + 101
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 233 and the new remainder 101, and apply the division lemma to get
233 = 101 x 2 + 31
We consider the new divisor 101 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
101 = 31 x 3 + 8
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 8 x 3 + 7
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 7 x 1 + 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 567 and 800 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(8,7) = HCF(31,8) = HCF(101,31) = HCF(233,101) = HCF(567,233) = HCF(800,567) .
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 567, 800?
Answer: HCF of 567, 800 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 567, 800 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 567, 800 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
