HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 732, 25265 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 732, 25265 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 732, 25265 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 732, 25265 is 1.
HCF(732, 25265) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 732, 25265 is 1.
Step 1: Since 25265 > 732, we apply the division lemma to 25265 and 732, to get
25265 = 732 x 34 + 377
Step 2: Since the reminder 732 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 377 and 732, to get
732 = 377 x 1 + 355
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 377 and the new remainder 355, and apply the division lemma to get
377 = 355 x 1 + 22
We consider the new divisor 355 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
355 = 22 x 16 + 3
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 3 x 7 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 732 and 25265 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(22,3) = HCF(355,22) = HCF(377,355) = HCF(732,377) = HCF(25265,732) .
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 732, 25265?
Answer: HCF of 732, 25265 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 732, 25265 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 732, 25265 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
