HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 247, 889, 482 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 247, 889, 482 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 247, 889, 482 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 247, 889, 482 is 1.
HCF(247, 889, 482) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 247, 889, 482 is 1.
Step 1: Since 889 > 247, we apply the division lemma to 889 and 247, to get
889 = 247 x 3 + 148
Step 2: Since the reminder 247 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 148 and 247, to get
247 = 148 x 1 + 99
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 148 and the new remainder 99, and apply the division lemma to get
148 = 99 x 1 + 49
We consider the new divisor 99 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
99 = 49 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 1 x 49 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 247 and 889 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(49,1) = HCF(99,49) = HCF(148,99) = HCF(247,148) = HCF(889,247) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 482 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 482 and 1, to get
482 = 1 x 482 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 482 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(482,1) .
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 247, 889, 482?
Answer: HCF of 247, 889, 482 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 247, 889, 482 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 247, 889, 482 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
