HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 288, 739, 413 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 288, 739, 413 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 288, 739, 413 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 288, 739, 413 is 1.
HCF(288, 739, 413) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 288, 739, 413 is 1.
Step 1: Since 739 > 288, we apply the division lemma to 739 and 288, to get
739 = 288 x 2 + 163
Step 2: Since the reminder 288 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 163 and 288, to get
288 = 163 x 1 + 125
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 163 and the new remainder 125, and apply the division lemma to get
163 = 125 x 1 + 38
We consider the new divisor 125 and the new remainder 38,and apply the division lemma to get
125 = 38 x 3 + 11
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 11 x 3 + 5
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 5 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 288 and 739 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(11,5) = HCF(38,11) = HCF(125,38) = HCF(163,125) = HCF(288,163) = HCF(739,288) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 413 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 413 and 1, to get
413 = 1 x 413 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 413 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(413,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
