HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 682, 165 i.e. 11 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 682, 165 is 11 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 682, 165 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 682, 165 is 11.
HCF(682, 165) = 11
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 682, 165 is 11.
Step 1: Since 682 > 165, we apply the division lemma to 682 and 165, to get
682 = 165 x 4 + 22
Step 2: Since the reminder 165 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 22 and 165, to get
165 = 22 x 7 + 11
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 11, and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 11 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 11, the HCF of 682 and 165 is 11
Notice that 11 = HCF(22,11) = HCF(165,22) = HCF(682,165) .
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 682, 165?
Answer: HCF of 682, 165 is 11 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 682, 165 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 682, 165 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
