HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 325, 2795, 2067 i.e. 13 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 325, 2795, 2067 is 13 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 325, 2795, 2067 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 325, 2795, 2067 is 13.
HCF(325, 2795, 2067) = 13
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 325, 2795, 2067 is 13.
Step 1: Since 2795 > 325, we apply the division lemma to 2795 and 325, to get
2795 = 325 x 8 + 195
Step 2: Since the reminder 325 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 195 and 325, to get
325 = 195 x 1 + 130
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 195 and the new remainder 130, and apply the division lemma to get
195 = 130 x 1 + 65
We consider the new divisor 130 and the new remainder 65, and apply the division lemma to get
130 = 65 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 65, the HCF of 325 and 2795 is 65
Notice that 65 = HCF(130,65) = HCF(195,130) = HCF(325,195) = HCF(2795,325) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 2067 > 65, we apply the division lemma to 2067 and 65, to get
2067 = 65 x 31 + 52
Step 2: Since the reminder 65 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 52 and 65, to get
65 = 52 x 1 + 13
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 52 and the new remainder 13, and apply the division lemma to get
52 = 13 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 13, the HCF of 65 and 2067 is 13
Notice that 13 = HCF(52,13) = HCF(65,52) = HCF(2067,65) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
