HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 65, 750, 567 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 65, 750, 567 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 65, 750, 567 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 65, 750, 567 is 1.
HCF(65, 750, 567) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 65, 750, 567 is 1.
Step 1: Since 750 > 65, we apply the division lemma to 750 and 65, to get
750 = 65 x 11 + 35
Step 2: Since the reminder 65 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 35 and 65, to get
65 = 35 x 1 + 30
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 30, and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 30 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 5, and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 5 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 65 and 750 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(30,5) = HCF(35,30) = HCF(65,35) = HCF(750,65) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 567 > 5, we apply the division lemma to 567 and 5, to get
567 = 5 x 113 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 5 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 5, to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 1
Step 3: 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 5 and 567 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(567,5) .
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 65, 750, 567?
Answer: HCF of 65, 750, 567 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 65, 750, 567 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 65, 750, 567 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
