HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 441, 567, 694 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 441, 567, 694 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 441, 567, 694 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 441, 567, 694 is 1.
HCF(441, 567, 694) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 441, 567, 694 is 1.
Step 1: Since 567 > 441, we apply the division lemma to 567 and 441, to get
567 = 441 x 1 + 126
Step 2: Since the reminder 441 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 126 and 441, to get
441 = 126 x 3 + 63
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 126 and the new remainder 63, and apply the division lemma to get
126 = 63 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 63, the HCF of 441 and 567 is 63
Notice that 63 = HCF(126,63) = HCF(441,126) = HCF(567,441) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 694 > 63, we apply the division lemma to 694 and 63, to get
694 = 63 x 11 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 63 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 63, to get
63 = 1 x 63 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 63 and 694 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(63,1) = HCF(694,63) .
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 441, 567, 694?
Answer: HCF of 441, 567, 694 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 441, 567, 694 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 441, 567, 694 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
