HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 583, 802, 995 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 583, 802, 995 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 583, 802, 995 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 583, 802, 995 is 1.
HCF(583, 802, 995) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 583, 802, 995 is 1.
Step 1: Since 802 > 583, we apply the division lemma to 802 and 583, to get
802 = 583 x 1 + 219
Step 2: Since the reminder 583 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 219 and 583, to get
583 = 219 x 2 + 145
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 219 and the new remainder 145, and apply the division lemma to get
219 = 145 x 1 + 74
We consider the new divisor 145 and the new remainder 74,and apply the division lemma to get
145 = 74 x 1 + 71
We consider the new divisor 74 and the new remainder 71,and apply the division lemma to get
74 = 71 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 3 x 23 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 583 and 802 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(71,3) = HCF(74,71) = HCF(145,74) = HCF(219,145) = HCF(583,219) = HCF(802,583) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 995 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 995 and 1, to get
995 = 1 x 995 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 995 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(995,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
