HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 810, 440, 614 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 810, 440, 614 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 810, 440, 614 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 810, 440, 614 is 2.
HCF(810, 440, 614) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 810, 440, 614 is 2.
Step 1: Since 810 > 440, we apply the division lemma to 810 and 440, to get
810 = 440 x 1 + 370
Step 2: Since the reminder 440 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 370 and 440, to get
440 = 370 x 1 + 70
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 370 and the new remainder 70, and apply the division lemma to get
370 = 70 x 5 + 20
We consider the new divisor 70 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
70 = 20 x 3 + 10
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 10 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 10, the HCF of 810 and 440 is 10
Notice that 10 = HCF(20,10) = HCF(70,20) = HCF(370,70) = HCF(440,370) = HCF(810,440) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 614 > 10, we apply the division lemma to 614 and 10, to get
614 = 10 x 61 + 4
Step 2: Since the reminder 10 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4 and 10, to get
10 = 4 x 2 + 2
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 10 and 614 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(10,4) = HCF(614,10) .
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 810, 440, 614?
Answer: HCF of 810, 440, 614 is 2 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 810, 440, 614 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 810, 440, 614 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
