HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 632, 367, 765 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 632, 367, 765 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 632, 367, 765 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 632, 367, 765 is 1.
HCF(632, 367, 765) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 632, 367, 765 is 1.
Step 1: Since 632 > 367, we apply the division lemma to 632 and 367, to get
632 = 367 x 1 + 265
Step 2: Since the reminder 367 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 265 and 367, to get
367 = 265 x 1 + 102
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 265 and the new remainder 102, and apply the division lemma to get
265 = 102 x 2 + 61
We consider the new divisor 102 and the new remainder 61,and apply the division lemma to get
102 = 61 x 1 + 41
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 41 x 1 + 20
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 20 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 1 x 20 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 632 and 367 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(20,1) = HCF(41,20) = HCF(61,41) = HCF(102,61) = HCF(265,102) = HCF(367,265) = HCF(632,367) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 765 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 765 and 1, to get
765 = 1 x 765 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 765 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(765,1) .
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 632, 367, 765?
Answer: HCF of 632, 367, 765 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 632, 367, 765 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 632, 367, 765 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
