HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 910, 570, 214 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 910, 570, 214 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 910, 570, 214 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 910, 570, 214 is 2.
HCF(910, 570, 214) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 910, 570, 214 is 2.
Step 1: Since 910 > 570, we apply the division lemma to 910 and 570, to get
910 = 570 x 1 + 340
Step 2: Since the reminder 570 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 340 and 570, to get
570 = 340 x 1 + 230
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 340 and the new remainder 230, and apply the division lemma to get
340 = 230 x 1 + 110
We consider the new divisor 230 and the new remainder 110,and apply the division lemma to get
230 = 110 x 2 + 10
We consider the new divisor 110 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
110 = 10 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 10, the HCF of 910 and 570 is 10
Notice that 10 = HCF(110,10) = HCF(230,110) = HCF(340,230) = HCF(570,340) = HCF(910,570) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 214 > 10, we apply the division lemma to 214 and 10, to get
214 = 10 x 21 + 4
Step 2: Since the reminder 10 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4 and 10, to get
10 = 4 x 2 + 2
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 10 and 214 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(10,4) = HCF(214,10) .
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 910, 570, 214?
Answer: HCF of 910, 570, 214 is 2 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 910, 570, 214 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 910, 570, 214 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
