HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 770, 327 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 770, 327 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 770, 327 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 770, 327 is 1.
HCF(770, 327) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 770, 327 is 1.
Step 1: Since 770 > 327, we apply the division lemma to 770 and 327, to get
770 = 327 x 2 + 116
Step 2: Since the reminder 327 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 116 and 327, to get
327 = 116 x 2 + 95
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 116 and the new remainder 95, and apply the division lemma to get
116 = 95 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 95 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
95 = 21 x 4 + 11
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 11 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 10 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 770 and 327 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(11,10) = HCF(21,11) = HCF(95,21) = HCF(116,95) = HCF(327,116) = HCF(770,327) .
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 770, 327?
Answer: HCF of 770, 327 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 770, 327 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 770, 327 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
