HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 752, 7085 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 752, 7085 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 752, 7085 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 752, 7085 is 1.
HCF(752, 7085) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 752, 7085 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7085 > 752, we apply the division lemma to 7085 and 752, to get
7085 = 752 x 9 + 317
Step 2: Since the reminder 752 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 317 and 752, to get
752 = 317 x 2 + 118
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 317 and the new remainder 118, and apply the division lemma to get
317 = 118 x 2 + 81
We consider the new divisor 118 and the new remainder 81,and apply the division lemma to get
118 = 81 x 1 + 37
We consider the new divisor 81 and the new remainder 37,and apply the division lemma to get
81 = 37 x 2 + 7
We consider the new divisor 37 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
37 = 7 x 5 + 2
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 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 752 and 7085 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(37,7) = HCF(81,37) = HCF(118,81) = HCF(317,118) = HCF(752,317) = HCF(7085,752) .
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 752, 7085?
Answer: HCF of 752, 7085 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 752, 7085 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 752, 7085 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
