HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 608, 377, 527 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 608, 377, 527 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 608, 377, 527 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 608, 377, 527 is 1.
HCF(608, 377, 527) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 608, 377, 527 is 1.
Step 1: Since 608 > 377, we apply the division lemma to 608 and 377, to get
608 = 377 x 1 + 231
Step 2: Since the reminder 377 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 231 and 377, to get
377 = 231 x 1 + 146
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 231 and the new remainder 146, and apply the division lemma to get
231 = 146 x 1 + 85
We consider the new divisor 146 and the new remainder 85,and apply the division lemma to get
146 = 85 x 1 + 61
We consider the new divisor 85 and the new remainder 61,and apply the division lemma to get
85 = 61 x 1 + 24
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 24 x 2 + 13
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 13 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 11 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 2 x 5 + 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 608 and 377 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(11,2) = HCF(13,11) = HCF(24,13) = HCF(61,24) = HCF(85,61) = HCF(146,85) = HCF(231,146) = HCF(377,231) = HCF(608,377) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 527 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 527 and 1, to get
527 = 1 x 527 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 527 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(527,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
