HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 486, 675, 833 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 486, 675, 833 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 486, 675, 833 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 486, 675, 833 is 1.
HCF(486, 675, 833) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 486, 675, 833 is 1.
Step 1: Since 675 > 486, we apply the division lemma to 675 and 486, to get
675 = 486 x 1 + 189
Step 2: Since the reminder 486 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 189 and 486, to get
486 = 189 x 2 + 108
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 189 and the new remainder 108, and apply the division lemma to get
189 = 108 x 1 + 81
We consider the new divisor 108 and the new remainder 81,and apply the division lemma to get
108 = 81 x 1 + 27
We consider the new divisor 81 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
81 = 27 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 27, the HCF of 486 and 675 is 27
Notice that 27 = HCF(81,27) = HCF(108,81) = HCF(189,108) = HCF(486,189) = HCF(675,486) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 833 > 27, we apply the division lemma to 833 and 27, to get
833 = 27 x 30 + 23
Step 2: Since the reminder 27 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 23 and 27, to get
27 = 23 x 1 + 4
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 4, and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 4 x 5 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 27 and 833 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(23,4) = HCF(27,23) = HCF(833,27) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
