HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 917, 733 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 917, 733 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 917, 733 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 917, 733 is 1.
HCF(917, 733) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 917, 733 is 1.
Step 1: Since 917 > 733, we apply the division lemma to 917 and 733, to get
917 = 733 x 1 + 184
Step 2: Since the reminder 733 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 184 and 733, to get
733 = 184 x 3 + 181
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 184 and the new remainder 181, and apply the division lemma to get
184 = 181 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 181 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
181 = 3 x 60 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 917 and 733 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(181,3) = HCF(184,181) = HCF(733,184) = HCF(917,733) .
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 917, 733?
Answer: HCF of 917, 733 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 917, 733 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 917, 733 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
