HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 894, 764, 110 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 894, 764, 110 is 2 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 894, 764, 110 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 894, 764, 110 is 2.
HCF(894, 764, 110) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 894, 764, 110 is 2.
Step 1: Since 894 > 764, we apply the division lemma to 894 and 764, to get
894 = 764 x 1 + 130
Step 2: Since the reminder 764 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 130 and 764, to get
764 = 130 x 5 + 114
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 130 and the new remainder 114, and apply the division lemma to get
130 = 114 x 1 + 16
We consider the new divisor 114 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
114 = 16 x 7 + 2
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 2 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 894 and 764 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(16,2) = HCF(114,16) = HCF(130,114) = HCF(764,130) = HCF(894,764) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 110 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 110 and 2, to get
110 = 2 x 55 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 110 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(110,2) .
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 894, 764, 110?
Answer: HCF of 894, 764, 110 is 2 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 894, 764, 110 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 894, 764, 110 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
