HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 324, 863, 455 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 324, 863, 455 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 324, 863, 455 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 324, 863, 455 is 1.
HCF(324, 863, 455) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 324, 863, 455 is 1.
Step 1: Since 863 > 324, we apply the division lemma to 863 and 324, to get
863 = 324 x 2 + 215
Step 2: Since the reminder 324 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 215 and 324, to get
324 = 215 x 1 + 109
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 215 and the new remainder 109, and apply the division lemma to get
215 = 109 x 1 + 106
We consider the new divisor 109 and the new remainder 106,and apply the division lemma to get
109 = 106 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 106 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
106 = 3 x 35 + 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 324 and 863 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(106,3) = HCF(109,106) = HCF(215,109) = HCF(324,215) = HCF(863,324) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 455 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 455 and 1, to get
455 = 1 x 455 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 455 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(455,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
