HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3207, 6588, 33276 i.e. 3 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3207, 6588, 33276 is 3 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 3207, 6588, 33276 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 3207, 6588, 33276 is 3.
HCF(3207, 6588, 33276) = 3
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3207, 6588, 33276 is 3.
Step 1: Since 6588 > 3207, we apply the division lemma to 6588 and 3207, to get
6588 = 3207 x 2 + 174
Step 2: Since the reminder 3207 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 174 and 3207, to get
3207 = 174 x 18 + 75
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 174 and the new remainder 75, and apply the division lemma to get
174 = 75 x 2 + 24
We consider the new divisor 75 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
75 = 24 x 3 + 3
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 3 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 3207 and 6588 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(24,3) = HCF(75,24) = HCF(174,75) = HCF(3207,174) = HCF(6588,3207) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 33276 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 33276 and 3, to get
33276 = 3 x 11092 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 3 and 33276 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(33276,3) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
