HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 619, 941 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 619, 941 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 619, 941 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 619, 941 is 1.
HCF(619, 941) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 619, 941 is 1.
Step 1: Since 941 > 619, we apply the division lemma to 941 and 619, to get
941 = 619 x 1 + 322
Step 2: Since the reminder 619 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 322 and 619, to get
619 = 322 x 1 + 297
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 322 and the new remainder 297, and apply the division lemma to get
322 = 297 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 297 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
297 = 25 x 11 + 22
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 22 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 3 x 7 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 619 and 941 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(22,3) = HCF(25,22) = HCF(297,25) = HCF(322,297) = HCF(619,322) = HCF(941,619) .
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 619, 941?
Answer: HCF of 619, 941 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 619, 941 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 619, 941 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
