HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 825, 364 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 825, 364 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 825, 364 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 825, 364 is 1.
HCF(825, 364) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 825, 364 is 1.
Step 1: Since 825 > 364, we apply the division lemma to 825 and 364, to get
825 = 364 x 2 + 97
Step 2: Since the reminder 364 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 97 and 364, to get
364 = 97 x 3 + 73
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 97 and the new remainder 73, and apply the division lemma to get
97 = 73 x 1 + 24
We consider the new divisor 73 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
73 = 24 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 1 x 24 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 825 and 364 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(24,1) = HCF(73,24) = HCF(97,73) = HCF(364,97) = HCF(825,364) .
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 825, 364?
Answer: HCF of 825, 364 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 825, 364 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 825, 364 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
