HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 774, 14395 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 774, 14395 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 774, 14395 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 774, 14395 is 1.
HCF(774, 14395) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 774, 14395 is 1.
Step 1: Since 14395 > 774, we apply the division lemma to 14395 and 774, to get
14395 = 774 x 18 + 463
Step 2: Since the reminder 774 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 463 and 774, to get
774 = 463 x 1 + 311
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 463 and the new remainder 311, and apply the division lemma to get
463 = 311 x 1 + 152
We consider the new divisor 311 and the new remainder 152,and apply the division lemma to get
311 = 152 x 2 + 7
We consider the new divisor 152 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
152 = 7 x 21 + 5
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 5 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 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 774 and 14395 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(7,5) = HCF(152,7) = HCF(311,152) = HCF(463,311) = HCF(774,463) = HCF(14395,774) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
