HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 830, 993 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 830, 993 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 830, 993 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 830, 993 is 1.
HCF(830, 993) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 830, 993 is 1.
Step 1: Since 993 > 830, we apply the division lemma to 993 and 830, to get
993 = 830 x 1 + 163
Step 2: Since the reminder 830 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 163 and 830, to get
830 = 163 x 5 + 15
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 163 and the new remainder 15, and apply the division lemma to get
163 = 15 x 10 + 13
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 13 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 2 x 6 + 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 830 and 993 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(13,2) = HCF(15,13) = HCF(163,15) = HCF(830,163) = HCF(993,830) .
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 830, 993?
Answer: HCF of 830, 993 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 830, 993 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 830, 993 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
