HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 639, 1694, 1718 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 639, 1694, 1718 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 639, 1694, 1718 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 639, 1694, 1718 is 1.
HCF(639, 1694, 1718) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 639, 1694, 1718 is 1.
Step 1: Since 1694 > 639, we apply the division lemma to 1694 and 639, to get
1694 = 639 x 2 + 416
Step 2: Since the reminder 639 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 416 and 639, to get
639 = 416 x 1 + 223
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 416 and the new remainder 223, and apply the division lemma to get
416 = 223 x 1 + 193
We consider the new divisor 223 and the new remainder 193,and apply the division lemma to get
223 = 193 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 193 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
193 = 30 x 6 + 13
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 13 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 4 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 639 and 1694 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(13,4) = HCF(30,13) = HCF(193,30) = HCF(223,193) = HCF(416,223) = HCF(639,416) = HCF(1694,639) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 1718 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 1718 and 1, to get
1718 = 1 x 1718 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 1718 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(1718,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
