HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 610, 127, 268 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 610, 127, 268 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 610, 127, 268 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 610, 127, 268 is 1.
HCF(610, 127, 268) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 610, 127, 268 is 1.
Step 1: Since 610 > 127, we apply the division lemma to 610 and 127, to get
610 = 127 x 4 + 102
Step 2: Since the reminder 127 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 102 and 127, to get
127 = 102 x 1 + 25
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 102 and the new remainder 25, and apply the division lemma to get
102 = 25 x 4 + 2
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 2 x 12 + 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 610 and 127 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(25,2) = HCF(102,25) = HCF(127,102) = HCF(610,127) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 268 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 268 and 1, to get
268 = 1 x 268 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 268 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(268,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 610, 127, 268?
Answer: HCF of 610, 127, 268 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 610, 127, 268 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 610, 127, 268 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
