HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 763, 706 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 763, 706 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 763, 706 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 763, 706 is 1.
HCF(763, 706) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 763, 706 is 1.
Step 1: Since 763 > 706, we apply the division lemma to 763 and 706, to get
763 = 706 x 1 + 57
Step 2: Since the reminder 706 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 57 and 706, to get
706 = 57 x 12 + 22
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 22, and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 22 x 2 + 13
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 13 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 9 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 4 x 2 + 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 763 and 706 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(9,4) = HCF(13,9) = HCF(22,13) = HCF(57,22) = HCF(706,57) = HCF(763,706) .
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 763, 706?
Answer: HCF of 763, 706 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 763, 706 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 763, 706 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
