HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 569, 884, 131 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 569, 884, 131 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 569, 884, 131 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 569, 884, 131 is 1.
HCF(569, 884, 131) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 569, 884, 131 is 1.
Step 1: Since 884 > 569, we apply the division lemma to 884 and 569, to get
884 = 569 x 1 + 315
Step 2: Since the reminder 569 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 315 and 569, to get
569 = 315 x 1 + 254
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 315 and the new remainder 254, and apply the division lemma to get
315 = 254 x 1 + 61
We consider the new divisor 254 and the new remainder 61,and apply the division lemma to get
254 = 61 x 4 + 10
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 10 x 6 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 569 and 884 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(61,10) = HCF(254,61) = HCF(315,254) = HCF(569,315) = HCF(884,569) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 131 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 131 and 1, to get
131 = 1 x 131 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 131 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(131,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
