HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8359, 7654 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8359, 7654 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 8359, 7654 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 8359, 7654 is 1.
HCF(8359, 7654) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8359, 7654 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8359 > 7654, we apply the division lemma to 8359 and 7654, to get
8359 = 7654 x 1 + 705
Step 2: Since the reminder 7654 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 705 and 7654, to get
7654 = 705 x 10 + 604
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 705 and the new remainder 604, and apply the division lemma to get
705 = 604 x 1 + 101
We consider the new divisor 604 and the new remainder 101,and apply the division lemma to get
604 = 101 x 5 + 99
We consider the new divisor 101 and the new remainder 99,and apply the division lemma to get
101 = 99 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 99 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
99 = 2 x 49 + 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 8359 and 7654 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(99,2) = HCF(101,99) = HCF(604,101) = HCF(705,604) = HCF(7654,705) = HCF(8359,7654) .
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 8359, 7654?
Answer: HCF of 8359, 7654 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 8359, 7654 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 8359, 7654 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
