HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 901, 766 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 901, 766 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 901, 766 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 901, 766 is 1.
HCF(901, 766) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 901, 766 is 1.
Step 1: Since 901 > 766, we apply the division lemma to 901 and 766, to get
901 = 766 x 1 + 135
Step 2: Since the reminder 766 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 135 and 766, to get
766 = 135 x 5 + 91
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 135 and the new remainder 91, and apply the division lemma to get
135 = 91 x 1 + 44
We consider the new divisor 91 and the new remainder 44,and apply the division lemma to get
91 = 44 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 44 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
44 = 3 x 14 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 901 and 766 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(44,3) = HCF(91,44) = HCF(135,91) = HCF(766,135) = HCF(901,766) .
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 901, 766?
Answer: HCF of 901, 766 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 901, 766 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 901, 766 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
