HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 703, 882, 414 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 703, 882, 414 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 703, 882, 414 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 703, 882, 414 is 1.
HCF(703, 882, 414) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 703, 882, 414 is 1.
Step 1: Since 882 > 703, we apply the division lemma to 882 and 703, to get
882 = 703 x 1 + 179
Step 2: Since the reminder 703 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 179 and 703, to get
703 = 179 x 3 + 166
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 179 and the new remainder 166, and apply the division lemma to get
179 = 166 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 166 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
166 = 13 x 12 + 10
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 10 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 3 x 3 + 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 703 and 882 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(10,3) = HCF(13,10) = HCF(166,13) = HCF(179,166) = HCF(703,179) = HCF(882,703) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 414 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 414 and 1, to get
414 = 1 x 414 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 414 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(414,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
