HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4725, 1394, 65300 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4725, 1394, 65300 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 4725, 1394, 65300 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 4725, 1394, 65300 is 1.
HCF(4725, 1394, 65300) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4725, 1394, 65300 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4725 > 1394, we apply the division lemma to 4725 and 1394, to get
4725 = 1394 x 3 + 543
Step 2: Since the reminder 1394 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 543 and 1394, to get
1394 = 543 x 2 + 308
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 543 and the new remainder 308, and apply the division lemma to get
543 = 308 x 1 + 235
We consider the new divisor 308 and the new remainder 235,and apply the division lemma to get
308 = 235 x 1 + 73
We consider the new divisor 235 and the new remainder 73,and apply the division lemma to get
235 = 73 x 3 + 16
We consider the new divisor 73 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
73 = 16 x 4 + 9
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 9 x 1 + 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 4725 and 1394 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(9,7) = HCF(16,9) = HCF(73,16) = HCF(235,73) = HCF(308,235) = HCF(543,308) = HCF(1394,543) = HCF(4725,1394) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 65300 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 65300 and 1, to get
65300 = 1 x 65300 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 65300 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(65300,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
