HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 734, 995, 96 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 734, 995, 96 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 734, 995, 96 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 734, 995, 96 is 1.
HCF(734, 995, 96) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 734, 995, 96 is 1.
Step 1: Since 995 > 734, we apply the division lemma to 995 and 734, to get
995 = 734 x 1 + 261
Step 2: Since the reminder 734 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 261 and 734, to get
734 = 261 x 2 + 212
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 261 and the new remainder 212, and apply the division lemma to get
261 = 212 x 1 + 49
We consider the new divisor 212 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
212 = 49 x 4 + 16
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 16 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 1 x 16 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 734 and 995 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(16,1) = HCF(49,16) = HCF(212,49) = HCF(261,212) = HCF(734,261) = HCF(995,734) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 96 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 96 and 1, to get
96 = 1 x 96 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 96 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(96,1) .
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 734, 995, 96?
Answer: HCF of 734, 995, 96 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 734, 995, 96 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 734, 995, 96 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
