HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 607, 963, 269 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 607, 963, 269 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 607, 963, 269 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 607, 963, 269 is 1.
HCF(607, 963, 269) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 607, 963, 269 is 1.
Step 1: Since 963 > 607, we apply the division lemma to 963 and 607, to get
963 = 607 x 1 + 356
Step 2: Since the reminder 607 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 356 and 607, to get
607 = 356 x 1 + 251
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 356 and the new remainder 251, and apply the division lemma to get
356 = 251 x 1 + 105
We consider the new divisor 251 and the new remainder 105,and apply the division lemma to get
251 = 105 x 2 + 41
We consider the new divisor 105 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
105 = 41 x 2 + 23
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 23 x 1 + 18
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 18 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 5 x 3 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 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 607 and 963 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(18,5) = HCF(23,18) = HCF(41,23) = HCF(105,41) = HCF(251,105) = HCF(356,251) = HCF(607,356) = HCF(963,607) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 269 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 269 and 1, to get
269 = 1 x 269 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 269 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(269,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
