HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 568, 903, 630 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 568, 903, 630 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, 903, 630 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, 903, 630 is 1.
HCF(568, 903, 630) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 568, 903, 630 is 1.
Step 1: Since 903 > 568, we apply the division lemma to 903 and 568, to get
903 = 568 x 1 + 335
Step 2: Since the reminder 568 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 335 and 568, to get
568 = 335 x 1 + 233
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 335 and the new remainder 233, and apply the division lemma to get
335 = 233 x 1 + 102
We consider the new divisor 233 and the new remainder 102,and apply the division lemma to get
233 = 102 x 2 + 29
We consider the new divisor 102 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
102 = 29 x 3 + 15
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 15 x 1 + 14
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 14 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 1 x 14 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 568 and 903 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(14,1) = HCF(15,14) = HCF(29,15) = HCF(102,29) = HCF(233,102) = HCF(335,233) = HCF(568,335) = HCF(903,568) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 630 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 630 and 1, to get
630 = 1 x 630 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 630 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(630,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
