HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 658, 411 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 658, 411 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 658, 411 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 658, 411 is 1.
HCF(658, 411) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 658, 411 is 1.
Step 1: Since 658 > 411, we apply the division lemma to 658 and 411, to get
658 = 411 x 1 + 247
Step 2: Since the reminder 411 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 247 and 411, to get
411 = 247 x 1 + 164
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 247 and the new remainder 164, and apply the division lemma to get
247 = 164 x 1 + 83
We consider the new divisor 164 and the new remainder 83,and apply the division lemma to get
164 = 83 x 1 + 81
We consider the new divisor 83 and the new remainder 81,and apply the division lemma to get
83 = 81 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 81 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
81 = 2 x 40 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 658 and 411 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(81,2) = HCF(83,81) = HCF(164,83) = HCF(247,164) = HCF(411,247) = HCF(658,411) .
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 658, 411?
Answer: HCF of 658, 411 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 658, 411 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 658, 411 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
