HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7674, 7528 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7674, 7528 is 2 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 7674, 7528 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 7674, 7528 is 2.
HCF(7674, 7528) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7674, 7528 is 2.
Step 1: Since 7674 > 7528, we apply the division lemma to 7674 and 7528, to get
7674 = 7528 x 1 + 146
Step 2: Since the reminder 7528 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 146 and 7528, to get
7528 = 146 x 51 + 82
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 146 and the new remainder 82, and apply the division lemma to get
146 = 82 x 1 + 64
We consider the new divisor 82 and the new remainder 64,and apply the division lemma to get
82 = 64 x 1 + 18
We consider the new divisor 64 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
64 = 18 x 3 + 10
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 10 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 8 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 2 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 7674 and 7528 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(8,2) = HCF(10,8) = HCF(18,10) = HCF(64,18) = HCF(82,64) = HCF(146,82) = HCF(7528,146) = HCF(7674,7528) .
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 7674, 7528?
Answer: HCF of 7674, 7528 is 2 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 7674, 7528 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 7674, 7528 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
