HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 572, 983, 667 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 572, 983, 667 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 572, 983, 667 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 572, 983, 667 is 1.
HCF(572, 983, 667) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 572, 983, 667 is 1.
Step 1: Since 983 > 572, we apply the division lemma to 983 and 572, to get
983 = 572 x 1 + 411
Step 2: Since the reminder 572 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 411 and 572, to get
572 = 411 x 1 + 161
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 411 and the new remainder 161, and apply the division lemma to get
411 = 161 x 2 + 89
We consider the new divisor 161 and the new remainder 89,and apply the division lemma to get
161 = 89 x 1 + 72
We consider the new divisor 89 and the new remainder 72,and apply the division lemma to get
89 = 72 x 1 + 17
We consider the new divisor 72 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
72 = 17 x 4 + 4
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 4 x 4 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 572 and 983 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(17,4) = HCF(72,17) = HCF(89,72) = HCF(161,89) = HCF(411,161) = HCF(572,411) = HCF(983,572) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 667 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 667 and 1, to get
667 = 1 x 667 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 667 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(667,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
