HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 759, 50065 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 759, 50065 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 759, 50065 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 759, 50065 is 1.
HCF(759, 50065) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 759, 50065 is 1.
Step 1: Since 50065 > 759, we apply the division lemma to 50065 and 759, to get
50065 = 759 x 65 + 730
Step 2: Since the reminder 759 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 730 and 759, to get
759 = 730 x 1 + 29
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 730 and the new remainder 29, and apply the division lemma to get
730 = 29 x 25 + 5
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 5 x 5 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 759 and 50065 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(29,5) = HCF(730,29) = HCF(759,730) = HCF(50065,759) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
