HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7351, 1699 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7351, 1699 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 7351, 1699 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 7351, 1699 is 1.
HCF(7351, 1699) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7351, 1699 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7351 > 1699, we apply the division lemma to 7351 and 1699, to get
7351 = 1699 x 4 + 555
Step 2: Since the reminder 1699 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 555 and 1699, to get
1699 = 555 x 3 + 34
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 555 and the new remainder 34, and apply the division lemma to get
555 = 34 x 16 + 11
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 11 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 1 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7351 and 1699 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(11,1) = HCF(34,11) = HCF(555,34) = HCF(1699,555) = HCF(7351,1699) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
