Program to find the HCF of two given bytes in 8085 Microprocessor

Here we will see how to find the HCF or GCD of two given bytes using 8085. The numbers are 8-bit numbers, nor larger than that.

Problem Statement−

Write an 8085 Assembly language program to find the HCF or GCD of two numbers stored at memory location 8000H and 8001H.

Discussion−

Here we will use the Euclidean algorithm to find HCF. This algorithm is very simple. We have to follow these steps−

Else if first number < second number, the
b) exchange no1 and no2.

The values are stored at location 8000H and 8001H, and the result will be stored at location 8050H.
