HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 700, 879, 863 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 700, 879, 863 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 700, 879, 863 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, 879, 863 is 1.
HCF(700, 879, 863) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 700, 879, 863 is 1.
Step 1: Since 879 > 700, we apply the division lemma to 879 and 700, to get
879 = 700 x 1 + 179
Step 2: Since the reminder 700 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 179 and 700, to get
700 = 179 x 3 + 163
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 179 and the new remainder 163, and apply the division lemma to get
179 = 163 x 1 + 16
We consider the new divisor 163 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
163 = 16 x 10 + 3
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 3 x 5 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 700 and 879 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(16,3) = HCF(163,16) = HCF(179,163) = HCF(700,179) = HCF(879,700) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 863 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 863 and 1, to get
863 = 1 x 863 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 863 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(863,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
