HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 700, 522, 924 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 700, 522, 924 is 2 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 700, 522, 924 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 700, 522, 924 is 2.
HCF(700, 522, 924) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 700, 522, 924 is 2.
Step 1: Since 700 > 522, we apply the division lemma to 700 and 522, to get
700 = 522 x 1 + 178
Step 2: Since the reminder 522 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 178 and 522, to get
522 = 178 x 2 + 166
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 178 and the new remainder 166, and apply the division lemma to get
178 = 166 x 1 + 12
We consider the new divisor 166 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
166 = 12 x 13 + 10
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 10 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 2 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 700 and 522 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(10,2) = HCF(12,10) = HCF(166,12) = HCF(178,166) = HCF(522,178) = HCF(700,522) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 924 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 924 and 2, to get
924 = 2 x 462 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 924 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(924,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
