HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 64, 62, 81, 102 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 64, 62, 81, 102 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 64, 62, 81, 102 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 64, 62, 81, 102 is 1.
HCF(64, 62, 81, 102) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 64, 62, 81, 102 is 1.
Step 1: Since 64 > 62, we apply the division lemma to 64 and 62, to get
64 = 62 x 1 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 62 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 62, to get
62 = 2 x 31 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 64 and 62 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(62,2) = HCF(64,62) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 81 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 81 and 2, to get
81 = 2 x 40 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2 and 81 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(81,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 102 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 102 and 1, to get
102 = 1 x 102 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 102 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(102,1) .
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 64, 62, 81, 102?
Answer: HCF of 64, 62, 81, 102 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 64, 62, 81, 102 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 64, 62, 81, 102 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
