HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 650, 810, 292 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 650, 810, 292 is 2 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 650, 810, 292 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 650, 810, 292 is 2.
HCF(650, 810, 292) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 650, 810, 292 is 2.
Step 1: Since 810 > 650, we apply the division lemma to 810 and 650, to get
810 = 650 x 1 + 160
Step 2: Since the reminder 650 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 160 and 650, to get
650 = 160 x 4 + 10
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 160 and the new remainder 10, and apply the division lemma to get
160 = 10 x 16 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 10, the HCF of 650 and 810 is 10
Notice that 10 = HCF(160,10) = HCF(650,160) = HCF(810,650) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 292 > 10, we apply the division lemma to 292 and 10, to get
292 = 10 x 29 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 10 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 10, to get
10 = 2 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 10 and 292 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(10,2) = HCF(292,10) .
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 650, 810, 292?
Answer: HCF of 650, 810, 292 is 2 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 650, 810, 292 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 650, 810, 292 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
