HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 467, 835, 864 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 467, 835, 864 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 467, 835, 864 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 467, 835, 864 is 1.
HCF(467, 835, 864) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 467, 835, 864 is 1.
Step 1: Since 835 > 467, we apply the division lemma to 835 and 467, to get
835 = 467 x 1 + 368
Step 2: Since the reminder 467 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 368 and 467, to get
467 = 368 x 1 + 99
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 368 and the new remainder 99, and apply the division lemma to get
368 = 99 x 3 + 71
We consider the new divisor 99 and the new remainder 71,and apply the division lemma to get
99 = 71 x 1 + 28
We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 28 x 2 + 15
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 15 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 13 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 2 x 6 + 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 467 and 835 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(13,2) = HCF(15,13) = HCF(28,15) = HCF(71,28) = HCF(99,71) = HCF(368,99) = HCF(467,368) = HCF(835,467) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 864 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 864 and 1, to get
864 = 1 x 864 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 864 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(864,1) .
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 467, 835, 864?
Answer: HCF of 467, 835, 864 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 467, 835, 864 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 467, 835, 864 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
