HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 573, 799, 860 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 573, 799, 860 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 573, 799, 860 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 573, 799, 860 is 1.
HCF(573, 799, 860) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 573, 799, 860 is 1.
Step 1: Since 799 > 573, we apply the division lemma to 799 and 573, to get
799 = 573 x 1 + 226
Step 2: Since the reminder 573 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 226 and 573, to get
573 = 226 x 2 + 121
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 226 and the new remainder 121, and apply the division lemma to get
226 = 121 x 1 + 105
We consider the new divisor 121 and the new remainder 105,and apply the division lemma to get
121 = 105 x 1 + 16
We consider the new divisor 105 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
105 = 16 x 6 + 9
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 9 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 7 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 573 and 799 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(9,7) = HCF(16,9) = HCF(105,16) = HCF(121,105) = HCF(226,121) = HCF(573,226) = HCF(799,573) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 860 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 860 and 1, to get
860 = 1 x 860 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 860 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(860,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
