WHAT IS EUCLID'S FORMULA
Answers
Answer:
Euclid's division algorithm is a way to find the HCF of two numbers by using Euclid's division lemma. It states that if there are any two integers a and b, there exists q and r such that it satisfies the given condition a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r < b.
WHAT IS EUCLID'S FORMULA
Euclid's Algorithm/Division algorithm/Division lemma : For each pair of positive integers a and b(dividend and divisor respectively),we can find the whole numbers q and r (quotient and remainder respectively)satisfying the relation
a = bq + r \: where \: 0 \leqslant r < ba=bq+rwhere0⩽r<b
●Euclid's algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two given integers.
Example:
Find the HCF of 60 and 100.
By Euclid's algorithm,
a = bq + r \: (0 \leqslant r < b)a=bq+r(0⩽r<b)
Where a = 100, b = 60
When 100 is divided by 60,the remainder is 40.
100 = (60×1)+40
Now the division of 60 with the remainder 40 in the above equation and apply the division algorithm.
60=(40×1)+20
Now consider the division of 40 with the remainder 20,and apply the division algorithm.
40=(20×2)+0
The remainder has became zero and we cannot proceed any further. Therefore the HCF of 60 and 100 is 20.
