HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 510, 825, 735, 992 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 510, 825, 735, 992 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 510, 825, 735, 992 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 510, 825, 735, 992 is 1.
HCF(510, 825, 735, 992) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 510, 825, 735, 992 is 1.
Step 1: Since 825 > 510, we apply the division lemma to 825 and 510, to get
825 = 510 x 1 + 315
Step 2: Since the reminder 510 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 315 and 510, to get
510 = 315 x 1 + 195
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 315 and the new remainder 195, and apply the division lemma to get
315 = 195 x 1 + 120
We consider the new divisor 195 and the new remainder 120,and apply the division lemma to get
195 = 120 x 1 + 75
We consider the new divisor 120 and the new remainder 75,and apply the division lemma to get
120 = 75 x 1 + 45
We consider the new divisor 75 and the new remainder 45,and apply the division lemma to get
75 = 45 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 45 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
45 = 30 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 15 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 15, the HCF of 510 and 825 is 15
Notice that 15 = HCF(30,15) = HCF(45,30) = HCF(75,45) = HCF(120,75) = HCF(195,120) = HCF(315,195) = HCF(510,315) = HCF(825,510) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 735 > 15, we apply the division lemma to 735 and 15, to get
735 = 15 x 49 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 15, the HCF of 15 and 735 is 15
Notice that 15 = HCF(735,15) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 992 > 15, we apply the division lemma to 992 and 15, to get
992 = 15 x 66 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 15 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 15, to get
15 = 2 x 7 + 1
Step 3: 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 15 and 992 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(15,2) = HCF(992,15) .
