HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 683, 595, 965 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 683, 595, 965 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 683, 595, 965 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 683, 595, 965 is 1.
HCF(683, 595, 965) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 683, 595, 965 is 1.
Step 1: Since 683 > 595, we apply the division lemma to 683 and 595, to get
683 = 595 x 1 + 88
Step 2: Since the reminder 595 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 88 and 595, to get
595 = 88 x 6 + 67
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 88 and the new remainder 67, and apply the division lemma to get
88 = 67 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 67 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
67 = 21 x 3 + 4
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 4 x 5 + 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 683 and 595 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(21,4) = HCF(67,21) = HCF(88,67) = HCF(595,88) = HCF(683,595) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 965 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 965 and 1, to get
965 = 1 x 965 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 965 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(965,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
