HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 969, 741 i.e. 57 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 969, 741 is 57 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 969, 741 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 969, 741 is 57.
HCF(969, 741) = 57
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 969, 741 is 57.
Step 1: Since 969 > 741, we apply the division lemma to 969 and 741, to get
969 = 741 x 1 + 228
Step 2: Since the reminder 741 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 228 and 741, to get
741 = 228 x 3 + 57
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 228 and the new remainder 57, and apply the division lemma to get
228 = 57 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 57, the HCF of 969 and 741 is 57
Notice that 57 = HCF(228,57) = HCF(741,228) = HCF(969,741) .
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 969, 741?
Answer: HCF of 969, 741 is 57 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 969, 741 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 969, 741 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
