HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 376, 885, 929 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 376, 885, 929 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 376, 885, 929 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 376, 885, 929 is 1.
HCF(376, 885, 929) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 376, 885, 929 is 1.
Step 1: Since 885 > 376, we apply the division lemma to 885 and 376, to get
885 = 376 x 2 + 133
Step 2: Since the reminder 376 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 133 and 376, to get
376 = 133 x 2 + 110
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 133 and the new remainder 110, and apply the division lemma to get
133 = 110 x 1 + 23
We consider the new divisor 110 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
110 = 23 x 4 + 18
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 18 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 5 x 3 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 376 and 885 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(18,5) = HCF(23,18) = HCF(110,23) = HCF(133,110) = HCF(376,133) = HCF(885,376) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 929 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 929 and 1, to get
929 = 1 x 929 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 929 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(929,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
