HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 702, 937, 652 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 702, 937, 652 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 702, 937, 652 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 702, 937, 652 is 1.
HCF(702, 937, 652) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 702, 937, 652 is 1.
Step 1: Since 937 > 702, we apply the division lemma to 937 and 702, to get
937 = 702 x 1 + 235
Step 2: Since the reminder 702 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 235 and 702, to get
702 = 235 x 2 + 232
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 235 and the new remainder 232, and apply the division lemma to get
235 = 232 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 232 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
232 = 3 x 77 + 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 702 and 937 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(232,3) = HCF(235,232) = HCF(702,235) = HCF(937,702) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 652 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 652 and 1, to get
652 = 1 x 652 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 652 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(652,1) .
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 702, 937, 652?
Answer: HCF of 702, 937, 652 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 702, 937, 652 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 702, 937, 652 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
