HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 568, 569, 780 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 568, 569, 780 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 568, 569, 780 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 568, 569, 780 is 1.
HCF(568, 569, 780) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 568, 569, 780 is 1.
Step 1: Since 569 > 568, we apply the division lemma to 569 and 568, to get
569 = 568 x 1 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 568 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 568, to get
568 = 1 x 568 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 568 and 569 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(568,1) = HCF(569,568) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 780 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 780 and 1, to get
780 = 1 x 780 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 780 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(780,1) .
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 568, 569, 780?
Answer: HCF of 568, 569, 780 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 568, 569, 780 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 568, 569, 780 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
