HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 575, 9782, 4785 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 575, 9782, 4785 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 575, 9782, 4785 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 575, 9782, 4785 is 1.
HCF(575, 9782, 4785) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 575, 9782, 4785 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9782 > 575, we apply the division lemma to 9782 and 575, to get
9782 = 575 x 17 + 7
Step 2: Since the reminder 575 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 7 and 575, to get
575 = 7 x 82 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 1 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 575 and 9782 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(575,7) = HCF(9782,575) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 4785 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 4785 and 1, to get
4785 = 1 x 4785 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 4785 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4785,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
