HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 814, 624, 85 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 814, 624, 85 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 814, 624, 85 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 814, 624, 85 is 1.
HCF(814, 624, 85) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 814, 624, 85 is 1.
Step 1: Since 814 > 624, we apply the division lemma to 814 and 624, to get
814 = 624 x 1 + 190
Step 2: Since the reminder 624 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 190 and 624, to get
624 = 190 x 3 + 54
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 190 and the new remainder 54, and apply the division lemma to get
190 = 54 x 3 + 28
We consider the new divisor 54 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
54 = 28 x 1 + 26
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 26 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 2 x 13 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 814 and 624 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(26,2) = HCF(28,26) = HCF(54,28) = HCF(190,54) = HCF(624,190) = HCF(814,624) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 85 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 85 and 2, to get
85 = 2 x 42 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, 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 2 and 85 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(85,2) .
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 814, 624, 85?
Answer: HCF of 814, 624, 85 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 814, 624, 85 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 814, 624, 85 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
