HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 483, 966, 341 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 483, 966, 341 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 483, 966, 341 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 483, 966, 341 is 1.
HCF(483, 966, 341) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 483, 966, 341 is 1.
Step 1: Since 966 > 483, we apply the division lemma to 966 and 483, to get
966 = 483 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 483, the HCF of 483 and 966 is 483
Notice that 483 = HCF(966,483) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 483 > 341, we apply the division lemma to 483 and 341, to get
483 = 341 x 1 + 142
Step 2: Since the reminder 341 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 142 and 341, to get
341 = 142 x 2 + 57
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 142 and the new remainder 57, and apply the division lemma to get
142 = 57 x 2 + 28
We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 28 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 1 x 28 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 483 and 341 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(28,1) = HCF(57,28) = HCF(142,57) = HCF(341,142) = HCF(483,341) .
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 483, 966, 341?
Answer: HCF of 483, 966, 341 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 483, 966, 341 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 483, 966, 341 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
