HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 177, 353, 206 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 177, 353, 206 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 177, 353, 206 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 177, 353, 206 is 1.
HCF(177, 353, 206) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 177, 353, 206 is 1.
Step 1: Since 353 > 177, we apply the division lemma to 353 and 177, to get
353 = 177 x 1 + 176
Step 2: Since the reminder 177 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 176 and 177, to get
177 = 176 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 176 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
176 = 1 x 176 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 177 and 353 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(176,1) = HCF(177,176) = HCF(353,177) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 206 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 206 and 1, to get
206 = 1 x 206 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 206 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(206,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
