HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 673, 975, 29, 834 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 673, 975, 29, 834 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 673, 975, 29, 834 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 673, 975, 29, 834 is 1.
HCF(673, 975, 29, 834) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 673, 975, 29, 834 is 1.
Step 1: Since 975 > 673, we apply the division lemma to 975 and 673, to get
975 = 673 x 1 + 302
Step 2: Since the reminder 673 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 302 and 673, to get
673 = 302 x 2 + 69
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 302 and the new remainder 69, and apply the division lemma to get
302 = 69 x 4 + 26
We consider the new divisor 69 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
69 = 26 x 2 + 17
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 17 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 9 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 8 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 673 and 975 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(9,8) = HCF(17,9) = HCF(26,17) = HCF(69,26) = HCF(302,69) = HCF(673,302) = HCF(975,673) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 29 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 29 and 1, to get
29 = 1 x 29 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 29 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(29,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 834 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 834 and 1, to get
834 = 1 x 834 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 834 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(834,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
