HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 228, 827, 383 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 228, 827, 383 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 228, 827, 383 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 228, 827, 383 is 1.
HCF(228, 827, 383) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 228, 827, 383 is 1.
Step 1: Since 827 > 228, we apply the division lemma to 827 and 228, to get
827 = 228 x 3 + 143
Step 2: Since the reminder 228 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 143 and 228, to get
228 = 143 x 1 + 85
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 143 and the new remainder 85, and apply the division lemma to get
143 = 85 x 1 + 58
We consider the new divisor 85 and the new remainder 58,and apply the division lemma to get
85 = 58 x 1 + 27
We consider the new divisor 58 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
58 = 27 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 4 x 6 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 228 and 827 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(27,4) = HCF(58,27) = HCF(85,58) = HCF(143,85) = HCF(228,143) = HCF(827,228) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 383 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 383 and 1, to get
383 = 1 x 383 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 383 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(383,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
