HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 351, 932, 795 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 351, 932, 795 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 351, 932, 795 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 351, 932, 795 is 1.
HCF(351, 932, 795) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 351, 932, 795 is 1.
Step 1: Since 932 > 351, we apply the division lemma to 932 and 351, to get
932 = 351 x 2 + 230
Step 2: Since the reminder 351 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 230 and 351, to get
351 = 230 x 1 + 121
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 230 and the new remainder 121, and apply the division lemma to get
230 = 121 x 1 + 109
We consider the new divisor 121 and the new remainder 109,and apply the division lemma to get
121 = 109 x 1 + 12
We consider the new divisor 109 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
109 = 12 x 9 + 1
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 1 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 351 and 932 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(12,1) = HCF(109,12) = HCF(121,109) = HCF(230,121) = HCF(351,230) = HCF(932,351) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 795 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 795 and 1, to get
795 = 1 x 795 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 795 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(795,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
