HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 348, 863, 613 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 348, 863, 613 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 348, 863, 613 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 348, 863, 613 is 1.
HCF(348, 863, 613) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 348, 863, 613 is 1.
Step 1: Since 863 > 348, we apply the division lemma to 863 and 348, to get
863 = 348 x 2 + 167
Step 2: Since the reminder 348 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 167 and 348, to get
348 = 167 x 2 + 14
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 167 and the new remainder 14, and apply the division lemma to get
167 = 14 x 11 + 13
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 13 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 1 x 13 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 348 and 863 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(13,1) = HCF(14,13) = HCF(167,14) = HCF(348,167) = HCF(863,348) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 613 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 613 and 1, to get
613 = 1 x 613 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 613 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(613,1) .
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 348, 863, 613?
Answer: HCF of 348, 863, 613 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 348, 863, 613 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 348, 863, 613 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
