HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8700, 1459 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8700, 1459 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 8700, 1459 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 8700, 1459 is 1.
HCF(8700, 1459) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8700, 1459 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8700 > 1459, we apply the division lemma to 8700 and 1459, to get
8700 = 1459 x 5 + 1405
Step 2: Since the reminder 1459 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1405 and 1459, to get
1459 = 1405 x 1 + 54
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1405 and the new remainder 54, and apply the division lemma to get
1405 = 54 x 26 + 1
We consider the new divisor 54 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
54 = 1 x 54 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 8700 and 1459 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(54,1) = HCF(1405,54) = HCF(1459,1405) = HCF(8700,1459) .
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 8700, 1459?
Answer: HCF of 8700, 1459 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 8700, 1459 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 8700, 1459 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
