HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 775, 44949 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 775, 44949 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 775, 44949 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 775, 44949 is 1.
HCF(775, 44949) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 775, 44949 is 1.
Step 1: Since 44949 > 775, we apply the division lemma to 44949 and 775, to get
44949 = 775 x 57 + 774
Step 2: Since the reminder 775 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 774 and 775, to get
775 = 774 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 774 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
774 = 1 x 774 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 775 and 44949 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(774,1) = HCF(775,774) = HCF(44949,775) .
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 775, 44949?
Answer: HCF of 775, 44949 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 775, 44949 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 775, 44949 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
