HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 393, 785, 763 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 393, 785, 763 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 393, 785, 763 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 393, 785, 763 is 1.
HCF(393, 785, 763) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 393, 785, 763 is 1.
Step 1: Since 785 > 393, we apply the division lemma to 785 and 393, to get
785 = 393 x 1 + 392
Step 2: Since the reminder 393 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 392 and 393, to get
393 = 392 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 392 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
392 = 1 x 392 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 393 and 785 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(392,1) = HCF(393,392) = HCF(785,393) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 763 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 763 and 1, to get
763 = 1 x 763 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 763 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(763,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
