HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 685, 85106 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 685, 85106 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 685, 85106 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 685, 85106 is 1.
HCF(685, 85106) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 685, 85106 is 1.
Step 1: Since 85106 > 685, we apply the division lemma to 85106 and 685, to get
85106 = 685 x 124 + 166
Step 2: Since the reminder 685 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 166 and 685, to get
685 = 166 x 4 + 21
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 166 and the new remainder 21, and apply the division lemma to get
166 = 21 x 7 + 19
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 19 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 2 x 9 + 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 685 and 85106 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(19,2) = HCF(21,19) = HCF(166,21) = HCF(685,166) = HCF(85106,685) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
