HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 727, 99205 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 727, 99205 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 727, 99205 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 727, 99205 is 1.
HCF(727, 99205) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 727, 99205 is 1.
Step 1: Since 99205 > 727, we apply the division lemma to 99205 and 727, to get
99205 = 727 x 136 + 333
Step 2: Since the reminder 727 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 333 and 727, to get
727 = 333 x 2 + 61
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 333 and the new remainder 61, and apply the division lemma to get
333 = 61 x 5 + 28
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 28 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 5 x 5 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 727 and 99205 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(28,5) = HCF(61,28) = HCF(333,61) = HCF(727,333) = HCF(99205,727) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
