HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 433, 216, 723 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 433, 216, 723 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 433, 216, 723 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 433, 216, 723 is 1.
HCF(433, 216, 723) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 433, 216, 723 is 1.
Step 1: Since 433 > 216, we apply the division lemma to 433 and 216, to get
433 = 216 x 2 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 216 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 216, to get
216 = 1 x 216 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 433 and 216 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(216,1) = HCF(433,216) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 723 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 723 and 1, to get
723 = 1 x 723 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 723 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(723,1) .
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 433, 216, 723?
Answer: HCF of 433, 216, 723 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 433, 216, 723 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 433, 216, 723 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
