HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 675, 72074 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 675, 72074 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 675, 72074 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 675, 72074 is 1.
HCF(675, 72074) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 675, 72074 is 1.
Step 1: Since 72074 > 675, we apply the division lemma to 72074 and 675, to get
72074 = 675 x 106 + 524
Step 2: Since the reminder 675 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 524 and 675, to get
675 = 524 x 1 + 151
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 524 and the new remainder 151, and apply the division lemma to get
524 = 151 x 3 + 71
We consider the new divisor 151 and the new remainder 71,and apply the division lemma to get
151 = 71 x 2 + 9
We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 9 x 7 + 8
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 8 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 675 and 72074 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(9,8) = HCF(71,9) = HCF(151,71) = HCF(524,151) = HCF(675,524) = HCF(72074,675) .
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 675, 72074?
Answer: HCF of 675, 72074 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 675, 72074 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 675, 72074 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
