HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 303, 404, 622 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 303, 404, 622 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 303, 404, 622 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 303, 404, 622 is 1.
HCF(303, 404, 622) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 303, 404, 622 is 1.
Step 1: Since 404 > 303, we apply the division lemma to 404 and 303, to get
404 = 303 x 1 + 101
Step 2: Since the reminder 303 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 101 and 303, to get
303 = 101 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 101, the HCF of 303 and 404 is 101
Notice that 101 = HCF(303,101) = HCF(404,303) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 622 > 101, we apply the division lemma to 622 and 101, to get
622 = 101 x 6 + 16
Step 2: Since the reminder 101 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 16 and 101, to get
101 = 16 x 6 + 5
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 5, and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 5 x 3 + 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 101 and 622 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(16,5) = HCF(101,16) = HCF(622,101) .
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 303, 404, 622?
Answer: HCF of 303, 404, 622 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 303, 404, 622 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 303, 404, 622 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
