HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 690, 7451 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 690, 7451 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 690, 7451 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 690, 7451 is 1.
HCF(690, 7451) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 690, 7451 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7451 > 690, we apply the division lemma to 7451 and 690, to get
7451 = 690 x 10 + 551
Step 2: Since the reminder 690 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 551 and 690, to get
690 = 551 x 1 + 139
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 551 and the new remainder 139, and apply the division lemma to get
551 = 139 x 3 + 134
We consider the new divisor 139 and the new remainder 134,and apply the division lemma to get
139 = 134 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 134 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
134 = 5 x 26 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 690 and 7451 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(134,5) = HCF(139,134) = HCF(551,139) = HCF(690,551) = HCF(7451,690) .
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 690, 7451?
Answer: HCF of 690, 7451 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 690, 7451 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 690, 7451 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
