HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 989, 512 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 989, 512 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 989, 512 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 989, 512 is 1.
HCF(989, 512) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 989, 512 is 1.
Step 1: Since 989 > 512, we apply the division lemma to 989 and 512, to get
989 = 512 x 1 + 477
Step 2: Since the reminder 512 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 477 and 512, to get
512 = 477 x 1 + 35
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 477 and the new remainder 35, and apply the division lemma to get
477 = 35 x 13 + 22
We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 22 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 13 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 9 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 4 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 989 and 512 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(9,4) = HCF(13,9) = HCF(22,13) = HCF(35,22) = HCF(477,35) = HCF(512,477) = HCF(989,512) .
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 989, 512?
Answer: HCF of 989, 512 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 989, 512 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 989, 512 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
