HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7026, 3164 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7026, 3164 is 2 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 7026, 3164 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 7026, 3164 is 2.
HCF(7026, 3164) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7026, 3164 is 2.
Step 1: Since 7026 > 3164, we apply the division lemma to 7026 and 3164, to get
7026 = 3164 x 2 + 698
Step 2: Since the reminder 3164 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 698 and 3164, to get
3164 = 698 x 4 + 372
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 698 and the new remainder 372, and apply the division lemma to get
698 = 372 x 1 + 326
We consider the new divisor 372 and the new remainder 326,and apply the division lemma to get
372 = 326 x 1 + 46
We consider the new divisor 326 and the new remainder 46,and apply the division lemma to get
326 = 46 x 7 + 4
We consider the new divisor 46 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
46 = 4 x 11 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 7026 and 3164 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(46,4) = HCF(326,46) = HCF(372,326) = HCF(698,372) = HCF(3164,698) = HCF(7026,3164) .
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 7026, 3164?
Answer: HCF of 7026, 3164 is 2 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 7026, 3164 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 7026, 3164 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
