HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 703, 747 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 703, 747 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 703, 747 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 703, 747 is 1.
HCF(703, 747) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 703, 747 is 1.
Step 1: Since 747 > 703, we apply the division lemma to 747 and 703, to get
747 = 703 x 1 + 44
Step 2: Since the reminder 703 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 44 and 703, to get
703 = 44 x 15 + 43
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 44 and the new remainder 43, and apply the division lemma to get
44 = 43 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 1 x 43 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 703 and 747 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(43,1) = HCF(44,43) = HCF(703,44) = HCF(747,703) .
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 703, 747?
Answer: HCF of 703, 747 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 703, 747 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 703, 747 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
