HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 567, 504, 299 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 567, 504, 299 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 567, 504, 299 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 567, 504, 299 is 1.
HCF(567, 504, 299) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 567, 504, 299 is 1.
Step 1: Since 567 > 504, we apply the division lemma to 567 and 504, to get
567 = 504 x 1 + 63
Step 2: Since the reminder 504 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 63 and 504, to get
504 = 63 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 63, the HCF of 567 and 504 is 63
Notice that 63 = HCF(504,63) = HCF(567,504) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 299 > 63, we apply the division lemma to 299 and 63, to get
299 = 63 x 4 + 47
Step 2: Since the reminder 63 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 47 and 63, to get
63 = 47 x 1 + 16
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 47 and the new remainder 16, and apply the division lemma to get
47 = 16 x 2 + 15
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 15 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 1 x 15 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 63 and 299 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(15,1) = HCF(16,15) = HCF(47,16) = HCF(63,47) = HCF(299,63) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
