HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3760, 7735, 32669 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3760, 7735, 32669 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 3760, 7735, 32669 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 3760, 7735, 32669 is 1.
HCF(3760, 7735, 32669) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3760, 7735, 32669 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7735 > 3760, we apply the division lemma to 7735 and 3760, to get
7735 = 3760 x 2 + 215
Step 2: Since the reminder 3760 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 215 and 3760, to get
3760 = 215 x 17 + 105
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 215 and the new remainder 105, and apply the division lemma to get
215 = 105 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 105 and the new remainder 5, and apply the division lemma to get
105 = 5 x 21 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 3760 and 7735 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(105,5) = HCF(215,105) = HCF(3760,215) = HCF(7735,3760) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 32669 > 5, we apply the division lemma to 32669 and 5, to get
32669 = 5 x 6533 + 4
Step 2: Since the reminder 5 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4 and 5, to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5 and 32669 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(32669,5) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
