HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 432, 527, 92 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 432, 527, 92 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 432, 527, 92 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 432, 527, 92 is 1.
HCF(432, 527, 92) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 432, 527, 92 is 1.
Step 1: Since 527 > 432, we apply the division lemma to 527 and 432, to get
527 = 432 x 1 + 95
Step 2: Since the reminder 432 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 95 and 432, to get
432 = 95 x 4 + 52
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 95 and the new remainder 52, and apply the division lemma to get
95 = 52 x 1 + 43
We consider the new divisor 52 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
52 = 43 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 9 x 4 + 7
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 7 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 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 432 and 527 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(9,7) = HCF(43,9) = HCF(52,43) = HCF(95,52) = HCF(432,95) = HCF(527,432) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 92 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 92 and 1, to get
92 = 1 x 92 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 92 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(92,1) .
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 432, 527, 92?
Answer: HCF of 432, 527, 92 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 432, 527, 92 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 432, 527, 92 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
