HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 459, 796, 927 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 459, 796, 927 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 459, 796, 927 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 459, 796, 927 is 1.
HCF(459, 796, 927) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 459, 796, 927 is 1.
Step 1: Since 796 > 459, we apply the division lemma to 796 and 459, to get
796 = 459 x 1 + 337
Step 2: Since the reminder 459 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 337 and 459, to get
459 = 337 x 1 + 122
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 337 and the new remainder 122, and apply the division lemma to get
337 = 122 x 2 + 93
We consider the new divisor 122 and the new remainder 93,and apply the division lemma to get
122 = 93 x 1 + 29
We consider the new divisor 93 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
93 = 29 x 3 + 6
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 6 x 4 + 5
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 5 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 459 and 796 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(6,5) = HCF(29,6) = HCF(93,29) = HCF(122,93) = HCF(337,122) = HCF(459,337) = HCF(796,459) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 927 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 927 and 1, to get
927 = 1 x 927 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 927 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(927,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
